Žena
Woman
Što je žena,Kakva je uloga njena?Žena je san,Lijepa k'o sunčan dan.BožanstvenaU majčinoj ulozi,Jer nju su stvarali BoziHerkul i Titan.Žena je BoginjaLjepote,MudrostiI kreposti.Ili još višeOna je skup svegaŠto božanstvom odiše.Žena je najljepša bajka,Kao sestra,Kao supruga,Kao majka.Žena je nježno ljubila,Mnoge je bogove rodila.Zvijezde trepereU njenoj kosi,U bujnim njedrimaMjesec skriva.Na krhkim plećimaPlanetu nosi.I bit će voljenaSve dok je živa.
Woman: what is she?What is her role to be?A woman is a dream,lovely as a sunbeam.Divine is shein the mother's role,for the gods made her whole,Hercules and Titan.Woman is the Goddessof Beauty,of Wisdom true,and Virtue too.Or more than this:she is the sum of allthat breathes divinest bliss.Woman is the fairest tale in life,as a sister,as a mother,as a wife.Woman's love was tender, mild;many a god has been her child.Stars are twinklingin her hair,in her full bosom's foldshe hides the moon from view.Her fragile shoulders holdthe planet in her care.And loved she'll beher whole life through.
