U Ljubavni ja uđoh Vrt,
Vidjeh što nikad ne vidjeh prije:
Crkvicu usred vrta, gdje uvijek
Igrat se drago bilo mi je.
Zatvorena joj bijahu vrata,
"Ne smiješ", tu se pročitat dalo;
U Ljubavni se Vrt ja vratih,
Gdje tako mnogo cvijeća je cvalo;
I vidjeh da je u njemu groblje
I grobne ploče svud; svećenici
U ruhu crnom hodahu trnom
Sputavajuć' mi čežnje i težnje.
William Blake
(Preveo Luko Paljetak)
The Garden of Love
I went to the Garden of Love,
And saw what I never had seen;
A Chapel was built in the midst,
Where I used to play on the green.
And the gates of this Chapel were shut
And "Thou shalt not," writ over the door;
So I turned to the Garden of Love
That so many sweet flowers bore.
And I saw it was filled with graves,
And tombstones where flowers should be;
And priests in black gowns were walking their rounds,
And binding with briars my joys and desires.
William Blake
