Elysium is as far as to

Elysium is as far as to
The very nearest Room
If in that Room a Friend await
Felicity or Doom-

What fortitude the Soul contains
That it can so endure
The accent of a coming Foot-
The opening of a Door-

Emily Dickinson
……………………………… ………………
Elysium departe-i precum
Odaia de alaturi.
In Ea așteaptă un Om bun
Fericiri sau Framanturi.

Ce forta Sufletul cuprinde
Că poate îndura
Calcatul unui Pas ce vine-
Usa a descuia- –

Romanian version,

Maria Magdalena Biela
