The Angel in the House — Page 7

English → Korean Book I. Level 7/10

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.

CANTO II.

제2편.

Mary And Mildred.

메리와 밀드레드.

PRELUDES.

서시.

I.

I.

_The Paragon_.

_전범(典範)_.

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.
