I saw a woman that smilingly and made up
rolled dice over her happiness
and saw that she had lost
I saw a tree, Edith Södergran

"Buscabas una flor
y hallaste un fruto.
Buscabas una fuente
y hallaste un mar.
Buscabas una mujer
y hallaste un alma:
estás decepcionado".
-Edith Södergran

Upptäckt
Din kärlek förmörkar min stjärna -
månen går upp i mitt liv.
Min hand är ej hemma i din.
Din hand är lusta -
min hand är längtan.
Södergran, Edith 1918: Septemberlyran

Death has tender features and pious cheeks,
upon your heart she lays her soft hand.

I am the last flower of the harvest.
I was rocked in the cradle of summer
and set to watch for the north wind,
red flames burst out
on my white cheek.
I am the last flower of the harvest,
I am the dead spring’s youngest seed,
it is so easy—as the last one—to die:
I have seen the ocean legendary, blue,
I have heard the heartbeat of the dying summer,
my chalice holds just the seeds of death.
I am the last flower of the harvest.
I have beheld the deep starry worlds of the harvest,
I have beheld light from distant hearths,
it is so easy to follow the same path,
I shall close the gates of the door.
I am the last flower of the harvest.
The Last Flower of the Harvest by Edith Södergran

Tú, que nunca saliste de tu huerto,
¿no has estado jamás anhelante junto a la verja
viendo por soñados senderos
fundirse la tarde en azul?
