Spoon River Anthology — Page 4
Where are Uncle Isaac and Aunt Emily,
아이작 삼촌과 에밀리 숙모는 어디에 있나,
And old Towny Kincaid and Sevigne Houghton,
그리고 늙은 타우니 킨케이드와 세비뉴 호턴은,
And Major Walker who had talked
그리고 메이저 워커는, 그가 이야기를 나눴던,
With venerable men of the revolution?—
혁명의 존경받는 사람들과 함께?—
All, all are sleeping on the hill.
모두, 모두 언덕 위에서 잠들어 있네.
They brought them dead sons from the war,
그들은 전쟁에서 죽은 아들들을 데려왔고,
And daughters whom life had crushed,
삶에 짓밟힌 딸들을 데려왔으며,
And their children fatherless, crying—
그리고 아버지 없이 울부짖는 그들의 아이들을—
All, all are sleeping, sleeping, sleeping on the hill.
모두, 모두 잠들어 있네, 잠들어, 잠들어, 언덕 위에서.
Where is Old Fiddler Jones
늙은 바이올린 연주자 존스는 어디에 있나,
Who played with life all his ninety years,
구십 평생 삶을 즐기며 살았던,
Braving the sleet with bared breast,
맨가슴으로 진눈깨비를 맞으며,
Drinking, rioting, thinking neither of wife nor kin,
술을 마시고, 방탕하게 살며, 아내도 친척도 생각지 않고,
Nor gold, nor love, nor heaven?
황금도, 사랑도, 천국도 생각지 않았던?
Lo! he babbles of the fish-frys of long ago,
보라! 그는 오래전의 생선 튀김 잔치를 중얼거리네,
Of the horse-races of long ago at Clary's Grove,
오래전 클래리 그로브에서 열린 경마를,
Of what Abe Lincoln said
에이브 링컨이 말했던 것을,
One time at Springfield.
한때 스프링필드에서.
Hod Putt
호드 풋
Here I lie close to the grave
나는 여기 무덤 가까이 누워 있네,
Of Old Bill Piersol,
늙은 빌 피어솔의 무덤 곁에,
Who grew rich trading with the Indians, and who
인디언들과 교역하며 부자가 되었고, 그리고 나중에는
Afterwards took the Bankrupt Law
파산법을 이용했으며,
And emerged from it richer than ever
그로 인해 그 어느 때보다 더 부유하게 빠져나온,
Myself grown tired of toil and poverty
나 자신은 고된 노동과 가난에 지쳐,
And beholding how Old Bill and others grew in wealth
늙은 빌과 다른 이들이 부를 쌓아가는 것을 바라보며,
Robbed a traveler one Night near Proctor's Grove,
어느 날 밤 프록터 그로브 근처에서 나그네를 털었고,
Killing him unwittingly while doing so,
그 과정에서 뜻하지 않게 그를 죽이고 말았으니,
For which I was tried and hanged.
그로 인해 나는 재판을 받고 교수형에 처해졌네.
That was my way of going into bankruptcy.
그것이 내가 파산으로 들어선 방식이었네.
Now we who took the bankrupt law in our respective ways
이제 각자의 방식으로 파산법을 택한 우리는,
Sleep peacefully side by side.
나란히 평화롭게 잠들어 있네.

Have you seen walking through the village
마을을 걸어가는 것을 본 적 있나요,
A man with downcast eyes and haggard face?
눈을 내리깔고 초췌한 얼굴을 한 한 남자를?
