AS TORRENTS IN SUMMER

As torrents in summer, Half dried in their channels,

Suddenly rise, tho' the sky is still cloudlesss.
For rain has been falling.
Far off at their fountains;

So hearts that are fainting Grow full to o'erflowing,

And they that behold it, Marvel, and know not
That God at their fountains
Far off has been raining!

***

Com torrents a l'estiu, mig secs als seus canals,

Aixeca't de sobte, malgrat que el cel encara estiga sense núvols.
Perquè ha caigut la pluja.
Lluny a les seues fonts;

Així que els cors que es desmaien s'omplin fins a fluir,

I els qui ho veuen, meravellats, i no ho saben
Que Déu a les seues fonts
Molt lluny ha estat plovent!
***

Como torrentes en verano, medio secos en sus cauces,

Levántate de repente, aunque el cielo aún no tenga nubes.
Porque ha estado lloviendo.
Lejos en sus fuentes;

Así los corazones que desfallecen se llenan hasta rebosar,

Y los que lo contemplan, se maravillan, y no saben
Que Dios en sus fuentes
¡Ha estado lloviendo lejos!

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

(1807-1882)
