Rudyard Kipling Poems

  • Si
    Si tu peux garder la tête quand tout autour de toi
    Perdez le leur et vous en blâmez;
    Si tu peux te faire confiance quand tous les hommes doutent de toi,
    Mais tenez également compte de leurs doutes: ...
  • Wenn
    Wenn du deinen Kopf behalten kannst, wenn alles um dich herum ist
    Verlieren ihre und beschuldigen Sie;
    Wenn Sie sich selbst vertrauen können, wenn alle Männer an Ihnen zweifeln,
    Aber berücksichtigen Sie auch ihre Zweifel: ...
  • Si
    Si puedes mantener la cabeza cuando se trata de ti
    Están perdiendo la suya y te echan la culpa a ti;
    Si puedes confiar en ti mismo cuando todos los hombres dudan de ti,
    Pero tenga en cuenta también sus dudas: ...
  • Un Dévouement
    Ma nouvelle taille de pierre de taille prend la lumière
    Où cramoisi-blanc les fenêtres s'embrasent;
    Par mon propre travail, avant la nuit,
    Grand surveillant, je fais ma prière. ...
  • Eine Widmung
    Mein neu geschnittener Quader nimmt das Licht
    Wo purpurrot die Fenster flackern;
    Durch meine eigene Arbeit vor der Nacht,
    Großer Aufseher, ich bete. ...

Emily Dickinson Poem
I-ll Tell You How The Sun Rose
 by Emily Dickinson

I-ll tell you how the sun rose, -
A ribbon at a time.
The steeples swam in amethyst,
The news like squirrels ran.

The hills untied their bonnets,
The bobolinks begun.
Then I said softly to myself,
