William Butler Yeats Visits Lincoln Park and Escapes Unscathed

Ao sair uma noite para respirar o ar da noiteAs I went out one evening to take the evening air
Fui abençoado por uma lua vermelha como sangueI was blessed by a blood-red moon
No Lincoln Park a escuridão estava mudandoIn Lincoln Park the dark was turning
Vi uma jovem bela e uma chama em seus olhosI spied a fair young maiden and a flame was in her eyes
E em seu rosto estavam os céus azul açoAnd on her face lay the steel blue skies
No Lincoln Park, a escuridão estava mudandoOf Lincoln Park, the dark was turning
MudandoTurning

Eles estenderam seus lençóis no chão como uma tribo erranteThey spread their sheets upon the ground just like a wandering tribe
E os sábios andavam em suas vestes de RobespierreAnd the wise men walked in their Robespierre robes
Pela Lincoln Park a escuridão estava mudandoThrough Lincoln Park the dark was turning
As torres aprisionadas e tremendo, e os barcos eram jogadosThe towers trapped and trembling, and the boats were tossed about
Quando a neblina chegou e o gás se dissipouWhen the fog rolled in and the gas rolled out
Do Lincoln Park a escuridão estava mudandoFrom Lincoln Park the dark was turning
MudandoTurning

Como cavalos selvagens finalmente libertos, tomamos as ruas de vinhoLike wild horses freed at last we took the streets of wine
Mas procurei em vão, pois ela ficou para trásBut I searched in vain for she stayed behind
No Lincoln Park a escuridão estava mudandoIn Lincoln Park the dark was turning
Voltarei para a cidade onde posso ficar sozinhoI'll go back to the city where I can be alone
E dizer ao meu amigo que ela jaz em pedraAnd tell my friend she lies in stone
No Lincoln Park a escuridão estava mudandoIn Lincoln Park the dark was turning
