Not knowing when the Dawn will come

夜明け

Singing Emily Dickinson

music & translation by Sachi Amano


 

                 Not knowing when the Dawn will come
                 I open every Door,
                 Or has it Feathers, like a Bird,
                 Or Billows, like a Shoreー        


                 夜明けはいつ来るかしら
                 すべての戸を開け放つ
                 夜明けが鳥のように翔いて行く前に
                 夜明けが波のように遠ざかり行く前に

 
                 夜明けはいつ来るかしら
                 すべての戸を開け放つ
                 夜明けよ 鳥のように翔いて行かないで
                 夜明けよ 波のように遠ざかり行かないで   
 
                 

 

 

 

 

HOME | These are the days when Birds come back | Presentiment is that long Shadow on the Lawn | As imperceptibly as Grief | Within my reach! | Hope is the thing with feathers | Wild Night | Two Butterflies went out at Noon- | | How Happy is the Little Stone | Good night! which put the candle out? | Not knowing when the dawn will come  |Singing Poems |
