Sometimes

Sometimes things don't go, after all
from bad to worse. Some years, muscadel
faces down frost; green thrives; the crops don't fail
sometimes a man aims high, and all goes well.

A people will sometimes step back from war;
elect an honest man; decide they care
enough; that they can't leave some stranger poor.
Some men become what they were born for.

Sometimes our best efforts do not go
amiss; sometimes we do as we are meant to.
The sun will sometimes melt a field of sorrow
that seemed hard frozen; may it happen to you.

by Sheenagh Pugh

Случается

Случается дела, в конце концов,
Все хуже не пойдут. Лоза переживет мороз
И нивы урожай дадут, зазеленеет все,
И сбудется несбыточный прогноз.

Народ не ввяжется, случается, в войну,
И люди безразличие стряхнув, достойных выберут,
И нищим подадут
А кто-то станет тем, кем суждено.

А иногда труды не пропадут,
И совершится то, что быть должно,
И солнышко, казалось навсегда, печаль застывшую
Растопит; пусть с тобой случится так.
