Earth                                              A terra

raises itsenf                                 ergue-se

on one shoulder                          meio de lado

watching                                        espreitando

waiting.                                          esperando.

 

Migrating grey wings                   Asas cinzas migratórias

measure the days                       medem os dias

of melting snow                           de neve derretendo

and leaden skies,                       e céus plúmbeos.

 

A crew                                           Uma gralha

flaps its wings                              bate suas asas

in the morning fog                       na cerração matinal

like a dingy handkerchief           qual um lenço encardido

of an old woman                          de uma velha

waving goodbye.                          acenando adeus.

 

Stout puffs of wind                      Vigorosas rajadas de vento

laugh                                              riem

as they pass                                 enquanto passam

and blow clouds                          sopram nuvens

loose                                              soltas

across the sky                              através do céu

like torn laundry.                           como farrapos sujos.

 

A sparrow´s song,                       O chilrar de um pardal,

pleading and pleading,              suplicando e suplicando,

brings a longing                           trás uma ânsia

to winter-weary                             à terra

earth.                                              cançada de inverno.
