Postoji ljubavi osmijeh
Te lažno kad usne se kreću,
U osmijehu nad svim osmjesima
Oba se ova sreću.
U mržnji se obrve mršte,
I prezir grči ih lud,
Od grimase, pak, nad grimasom
Ti bježiš uzalud.
U srce ta bode duboko,
I kralješke drobi kad sjeda,
A od osmijeha sviju
Postoji samo jedan.
Od koljevke pa do groba
Jedini osmijeh je taj,
A kad ti on se osmjehne
Svim potanjim tada je kraj.
William Blake
The Smile
There is a smile of love,
And there is a smile of deceit,
And there is a smile of smiles
In which these two smiles meet;
And there is a frown of hate,
And there is a frown of disdain,
And there is a frown of frowns
Which you strive to forget in vain,
For it sticks in the heart's deep core,
And it sticks in the deep back bone,
And no smile that ever was smil'd,
But only one smile alone
That betwixt the cradle and grave
It only once smil'd can be,
But when it once is smil'd,
There's an end to all misery.
William Blake
