DEATH

Nor dread nor hope attend
A dying animal;
A man awaits his end
Dreading and hoping all;
Many times he died,
Many times rose again.
A great man in his pride
Confronting murderous men
Casts derision upon
Supersession of breath;
He knows death to the bone
Man has created death.

MORT

Ni la por ni cap esperança
No vetllen l'animal que mor;
L'home espera la seua fi
Esglaiant-se, esperant-ho tot;
I moltes vegades ha mort,
I moltes vegades ha tornat a alçar-se.
Davant dels assassins
L'orgull de l'home ferm
Respon a l'últim
Alè amb l'escarni; la mort
La coneix per dins l'ha creat
L'home la mort.
