Lindsay, Vachel: Imádkozik a nap éppen (The Sun Says His Prayers in Hungarian)

”The sun says his prayers,” said the fairy,
Or else he would wither and die.
”The sun says his prayers,” said the fairy,
”For strength to climb up through the sky.
He leans on invisible angels,
And Faith is his prop and his rod.
The sky is his crystal cathedral.
And dawn is his altar to God.”

„Imádkozik épp a nap”, a tündér
Szólt, mert kialudna, ha nem.
„Imádkozik épp a nap”, a tündér
Szólt, „Hogy felmászni erős legyen.
Nem látszó angyalok keze tartja,
S a Hit kezében a bot.
Dóm, kristálytemplom az égbolt
Oltárok a hajnalok.
