On The Threshold
Amy Levy
O God, my dream! I dreamed that you were dead;
Your mother hung above the couch and wept
Whereon you lay all white, and garlanded
With blooms of waxen whiteness. I had crept
Up to your chamber-door, which stood ajar,
And in the doorway watched you from afar,
Nor dared advance to kiss your lips and brow.
I had no part nor lot in you, as now;
Death had not broken between us the old bar;
Nor torn from out my heart the old, cold sense
Of your misprision and my impotence.
על הסף / איימי לוי
אֵל אֱלֹהִים! חָלַמְתִּי שֶׁנִּפְטַרְתָּ;
אִמְּךָ נִצְּבָה עַל מִטָּתְךָ בּוֹכָה
לָבָן עַל מִשְׁכָּבְךָ, פְּרָחִים עֻטַּרְתָּ
בְּלֹבֶן שַׁעֲוָה. אֶל פִּתְחֲךָ
שֶׁלֹּא נִנְעַל זָחַלְתִּי לִרְאוֹתְךָ,
לְמֵרָחוֹק. לִבִּי כְּלָל לֹא נוֹעַז,
נַשֵּׁק עַל פִּיךָ אוֹ עַל מִצְחֲךָ.
לֹא חֵלֶק לִי בְּךָ, עַתָּה כְּמוֹ אָז;
אֶת הַמְּחִיצָה הַמָּוֶת לֹא שָׁבַר;
וְהִשְׁתַּמֵּר קֹר הַזָּרוּת אִתִּי
פְּרִי אִי-הֲבָנָתְךָ, פְּרִי חֻלְשָׁתִי.
