Glenday, John: Ima Westrayben (A Westray Prayer in Hungarian)

Portre of Glenday, John

A Westray Prayer (English)

i.m. Mike and Barbara Heasman
 
Let us now give thanks
for these salt-blown
 
wind-burned pastures
where oatgrass and timothy
shrink from the harrow of the sea
 
where Scotland at long last
wearies of muttering its own name
where we may begin
 
to believe we have always known
what someone in his wisdom
must have meant
 
when he gave us everything
and told us nothing

Ima Westrayben (Hungarian)

Mike és Barbara Heasman emlékére
 
Mondjunk most köszönetet
e sóval befútt
 
szelek-perzselte legelőkért
ahol a kurtaperjét és a komócsint
elfonnyasztja a tenger gyötrő ereje
 
ahol Skócia végre-valahára
belefárad abba, hogy saját nevét motyogja
ahol elkezdhetjük
 
hinni mit mindig is tudtunk
amit valaki nagy bölcsességében
biztos így gondolt
 
mikor nekünk adott mindent
és semmit sem mondott
