There he stood in his room, holding a little piece of pink paper between his fingers, on which was a poem,--a poem written by the lieutenant himself.

그는 방에 서서 손가락 사이에 작은 분홍색 종이 한 장을 들고 있었는데, 그 위에는 시가 적혀 있었습니다. 바로 중위 자신이 쓴 시였습니다.

Who has not had, for once in his life, a moment of poetic inspiration? and at such a moment, if the thoughts are written down, they flow in poetry.

살면서 한 번쯤은 시적 영감의 순간을 가져보지 않은 사람이 누가 있겠습니까? 그런 순간에 생각을 적어 내려가면, 그것은 시처럼 흘러나옵니다.

The following verses were written on the pink paper:--

다음의 시구들이 그 분홍색 종이에 적혀 있었습니다.

"OH WERE I RICH!

"오, 내가 부자라면!

"Oh were I rich! How oft, in youth's bright hour, When youthful pleasures banish every care, I longed for riches but to gain a power, The sword and plume and uniform to wear!

"오, 내가 부자라면! 젊음의 빛나는 시절, 젊은 날의 즐거움이 모든 근심을 몰아낼 때, 나는 얼마나 자주 부를 갈망했던가, 칼과 깃털 장식과 제복을 걸치는 권세를 얻고자!

The riches and the honor came for me; Yet still my greatest wealth was poverty: Ah, help and pity me!

부와 명예는 내게 찾아왔지만, 그럼에도 나의 가장 큰 재산은 여전히 가난이었네. 아, 나를 도와주오, 불쌍히 여겨주오!

"Once in my youthful hours, when gay and free, A maiden loved me; and her gentle kiss, Rich in its tender love and purity, Taught me, alas! too much of earthly bliss.

"젊고 자유로웠던 그 시절, 한 소녀가 나를 사랑했네. 그녀의 부드러운 입맞춤은 다정한 사랑과 순수함으로 가득하여, 아아, 나에게 세속적인 행복을 너무도 많이 가르쳐주었네.

Dear child! She only thought of youthful glee; She loved no wealth, but fairy tales and me. Thou knowest: ah, pity me!

사랑스러운 아이여! 그녀는 오직 젊음의 기쁨만을 생각했네. 그녀는 부를 사랑하지 않았고, 오직 동화와 나만을 사랑했네. 그대는 알리라. 아, 나를 불쌍히 여겨주오!

"Oh were I rich! again is all my prayer: That child is now a woman, fair and free, As good and beautiful as angels are.

"오, 내가 부자라면! 이것이 다시금 나의 모든 기도라네. 그 아이는 이제 아름답고 자유로운 여인이 되었네, 천사처럼 선하고 아름다운.

Oh, were I rich in lovers' poetry, To tell my fairy tale, love's richest lore! But no; I must be silent--I am poor. Ah, wilt thou pity me?

오, 내가 연인의 시로 풍요롭다면, 나의 동화를, 사랑의 가장 풍요로운 가르침을 전할 수 있으련만! 하지만 아니, 나는 침묵해야 하네. 나는 가난하니. 아, 그대는 나를 불쌍히 여겨주겠는가?

"Oh were I rich in truth and peace below, I need not then my poverty bewail.

"오, 내가 이 세상에서 진실과 평화로 풍요롭다면, 나의 가난을 한탄할 필요가 없으련만.
