Edgar Alan Po – Gavran (5)

 

U mrak mi je pogled pao, čudnom strahu sam se dao,
Sumnjajući, sanjajući, snovi mi se strašni zbiše;
Nedirnuta bi tišina, znaka nije dala tmina,
Rečena je reč jedina, šapnuta od zvuka kiše:
“Lenora” ja šapnuh tiho, jeka mi je vrati tiše,
Samo to i ništa više.

(nastaviće se)

"Lenora" ja šapnuh tiho, jeka mi je vrati tiše. Samo to i ništa više.

 

Deep into that darkness peering, long I stood there wondering, fearing,
Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortals ever dared to dream before;
But the silence was unbroken, and the stillness gave no token,
And the only word there spoken was the whispered word, “Lenore?”
This I whispered, and an echo murmured back the word, “Lenore!”–
Merely this and nothing more.
