VersiĂłn: IsaĂas Garde
Vendrá la lluvia suave y el olor de la tierra,
y vendrán golondrinas, girando, con sonido brillante;
y ranas en las fuentes cantarán por la noche,
y ciruelos silvestres de blanco tembloroso;
petirrojos luciendo su plumaje de fuego
silbarán sus caprichos sobre los alambrados;
y ninguno sabrá de la guerra, a ninguno al final
le importará cuando haya terminado.
No les importará, ni al pájaro ni al árbol,
la humanidad totalmente arrasada;
La primavera, despertándose al alba,
apenas notará que nos fuimos.
Sara Teasdale – There Will Come Soft Rain
There will come soft rain and the smell of the ground,
And swallows circling with their shimmering sound;
And frogs in the pools singing at night,
And wild plum trees in tremulous white;
Robins will wear their feathery fire,
Whistling their whims on a low fence-wire;
And not one will know of the war, not one
Will care at last when it is done.
Not one would mind, neither bird nor tree,
If mankind perished utterly;
And Spring herself, when she woke at dawn
Would scarcely know that we were gone.
