And the Black-eyed cocotte took the tears for hers,

그리고 검은 눈의 코코트는 그 눈물을 자신의 것으로 받아들였고,

As well as the deceiving kisses I gave her.

내가 그녀에게 준 거짓된 입맞춤도 마찬가지로.

Somehow, from that hour, I had a new vision

어쩐지, 그 시간부터, 나는 새로운 시각을 갖게 되었다

Dear Emily Sparks!

사랑하는 에밀리 스파크스!

Emily Sparks

에밀리 스파크스

Where is my boy, my boy

내 아이는 어디 있나, 내 아이는

In what far part of the world?

세상 어느 먼 곳에 있나?

The boy I loved best of all in the school?—

학교에서 내가 가장 사랑했던 그 아이?—

I, the teacher, the old maid, the virgin heart,

나, 선생님, 노처녀, 순결한 마음을 가진 자,

Who made them all my children.

그들 모두를 내 자녀로 삼았던.

Did I know my boy aright,

내 아이를 제대로 알고 있었던가,

Thinking of him as a spirit aflame,

그를 불타오르는 영혼으로 생각하며,

Active, ever aspiring?

활동적이고, 항상 열망하는?

Oh, boy, boy, for whom I prayed and prayed

오, 아이야, 아이야, 내가 거듭 기도했던

In many a watchful hour at night,

밤의 많은 깨어있는 시간 동안,

Do you remember the letter I wrote you

내가 너에게 쓴 편지를 기억하니

Of the beautiful love of Christ?

그리스도의 아름다운 사랑에 대한?

And whether you ever took it or not,

그리고 네가 그것을 받아들였든 아니든,

My, boy, wherever you are,

아이야, 네가 어디에 있든,

Work for your soul's sake,

네 영혼을 위해 일하거라,

That all the clay of you, all of the dross of you,

너의 모든 흙, 너의 모든 찌꺼기가,

May yield to the fire of you,

너의 불길에 굴복하여,

Till the fire is nothing but light!…

그 불이 오직 빛만이 될 때까지!…

Nothing but light!

오직 빛만!

Trainor, the Druggist

약사 트레이너

Only the chemist can tell, and not always the chemist,

오직 화학자만이 말할 수 있고, 항상 화학자도 아니지만,

What will result from compounding

혼합으로 무엇이 생겨날지를

Fluids or solids.

액체나 고체를.

And who can tell

그리고 누가 말할 수 있을까

How men and women will interact

남자와 여자가 어떻게 상호작용할지

On each other, or what children will result?

서로에게, 혹은 어떤 자녀가 태어날지를?

There were Benjamin Pantier and his wife,

벤저민 팬티어와 그의 아내가 있었으니,

Good in themselves, but evil toward each other;

각자는 선하나, 서로에게는 악했다;

He oxygen, she hydrogen,

그는 산소, 그녀는 수소,

Their son, a devastating fire.

그들의 아들은, 파괴적인 불길.

I Trainor, the druggist, a miser of chemicals,

나 트레이너, 약사, 화학물질의 수전노,

Killed while making an experiment,

실험을 하다 죽임을 당하여,

Lived unwedded.

미혼으로 살았다.
