The Angel in the House — Page 7
To be there as a friend, (since more),
친구로서 그곳에 있다는 것이, (그 이상이기에),
Seem'd then, seems still, excuse for pride;
그때도, 지금도 여전히, 자부심의 이유가 되었으니;
For something that abode endued
그 거처에 깃들어 있던 무언가가
With temple-like repose, an air
신전 같은 고요함, 그리고
Of life's kind purposes pursued
삶의 선한 목적들이 추구되는 기운,
With order'd freedom sweet and fair.
질서 잡힌 자유로, 달콤하고 아름답게.
A tent pitch'd in a world not right
올바르지 않은 세상에 세워진 천막,
It seem'd, whose inmates, every one,
그것은 그리 보였으니, 그 안에 사는 이들 모두가,
On tranquil faces bore the light
고요한 얼굴에 빛을 담고 있었으니,
Of duties beautifully done,
아름답게 완수된 의무의 빛을,
And humbly, though they had few peers,
그리고 겸손하게, 비록 그들에게 필적할 자 드물었어도,
Kept their own laws, which seem'd to be
그들 자신의 법도를 지켰으니, 그것은 곧
The fair sum of six thousand years'
육천 년의 아름다운 총화,
Traditions of civility.
문명의 전통이었도다.

WHEN I behold the skies aloft
내가 높이 펼쳐진 하늘을 바라볼 때,
Passing the pageantry of dreams,
꿈의 화려한 행렬을 능가하는,
The cloud whose bosom, cygnet-soft,
새끼 백조처럼 부드러운 품을 지닌 구름이,
A couch for nuptial Juno seems,
혼인의 여신 유노의 잠자리처럼 보이는,
The ocean broad, the mountains bright,
넓은 바다, 빛나는 산들,
The shadowy vales with feeding herds,
풀을 뜯는 짐승 떼 있는 어스름한 골짜기들,
I from my lyre the music smite,
나는 내 수금에서 음악을 울려 내니,
Nor want for justly matching words.
꼭 어울리는 말도 부족하지 않도다.
All forces of the sea and air,
바다와 하늘의 모든 힘들,
All interests of hill and plain,
언덕과 들판의 모든 흥취,
I so can sing, in seasons fair,
나는 맑은 계절에 그리 노래할 수 있으니,
That who hath felt may feel again.
일찍이 느꼈던 이가 다시 느낄 수 있도록.
Elated oft by such free songs,
이러한 자유로운 노래들에 자주 고무되어,
I think with utterance free to raise
나는 자유로운 언어로 불러올릴 수 있다 생각하니,
That hymn for which the whole world longs,
온 세상이 갈망하는 그 찬가를,
A worthy hymn in woman's praise;
여인을 찬미하는 합당한 찬가를;
A hymn bright-noted like a bird's,
새의 노랫소리처럼 밝은 음률의 찬가,
Arousing these song-sleepy times
노래에 잠든 이 시대를 일깨우는,
With rhapsodies of perfect words,
완벽한 말들의 광시곡으로,
Ruled by returning kiss of rhymes.
되돌아오는 운율의 입맞춤에 이끌리어.
