William Butler Yeats: The Mother Of God (English)

 
The threefold terror of love; a fallen flare 
Through the hollow of an ear; 
Wings beating about the room; 
The terror of all terrors that I bore 
The Heavens in my womb. 

Had I not found content among the shows 
Every common woman knows, 
Chimney corner, garden walk, 
Or rocky cistern where we tread the clothes 
And gather all the talk? 

What is this flesh I purchased with my pains, 
This fallen star my milk sustains, 
This love that makes my heart's blood stop 
Or strikes a Sudden chill into my bones 
And bids my hair stand up? 

Maître d'hôtel Yeats De William: La Mère De Dieu (French)

 
La terreur triple de l'amour; une fusée tombée par la cavité d'une 
oreille; Ailes battant au sujet de la salle; La terreur de toutes 
les terreurs que j'alèse les cieux dans mon utérus. 

Est-ce que moi avaient trouvé le contenu parmi les expositions que 
chaque femme commune sait, le coin de cheminée, la promenade de 
jardin, ou le réservoir rocheux où nous marchons les vêtements et 
recueillons tout l'entretien ? 

Queest-ce que cette chair que j'ai acheté avec mes douleurs, cette 
étoile tombée est-elle mon lait soutient, cet amour qui fait 
l'arrêt du sang de mon coeur ou frappe un froid soudain dans mes os 
et offre mes cheveux se lèvent ? 

William Kellermeister Yeats: Die Mutter Des Gottes (German)

 
Der dreifache Terror der Liebe; ein gefallenes Aufflackern durch die 
Höhle eines Ohrs; Flügel, die über den Raum schlagen; Der Terror 
alles Terrors, daß ich die Himmel in meiner Geb5rmutter bohre. 

Hatten ich nicht Inhalt unter den Erscheinen, die jede gemeine Frau 
weiß, Kaminecke, Gartenweg oder felsige Zisterne gefunden, wo wir die 
Kleidung treten und das ganzes Gespräch erfassen? 

Was ist dieses Fleisch, das ich mit meinen Schmerz kaufte, dieser 
gefallene Stern meine Milch unterstützt, diese Liebe, die 
Blutanschlag meines Herzens bildet oder einen plötzlichen Schauer in 
meine Knochen anschlägt und mein Haar stehen oben bietet? 

Mordomo Yeats De William: A Mãe Do Deus (Portuguese)

 
O terror threefold do amor; um alargamento caído através da cavidade 
de uma orelha; Asas que batem sobre o quarto; O terror de todos os 
terrors que eu furo os heavens em meu womb. 

Eu tinham encontrado o índice entre as mostras que cada mulher comum 
sabe, o canto de chaminé, a caminhada do jardim, ou a cisterna 
rochosa onde nós pisamos a roupa e recolhemos toda a conversa? 

Que é esta carne que eu comprei com minhas dores, esta estrela caída 
meu leite sustenta, este amor que faz o batente do sangue do meu 
coração ou golpeia um frio repentino em meus ossos e oferece meu 
cabelo está acima? 

Mayordomo Yeats De Guillermo: La Madre Del Dios (Spanish)

 
El terror triple del amor; una llamarada caída a través del hueco de 
un oído; Alas que baten sobre el cuarto; El terror de todos los 
terrores que agujereo los cielos en mi matriz. 

¿Yo habían encontrado el contenido entre las demostraciones que cada 
mujer común sabe, la esquina de chimenea, la caminata del jardín, o 
la cisterna rocosa donde pisamos las ropas y recolectamos toda la 
charla? 

¿Cuál es esta carne que compré con mis dolores, esta estrella caída 
mi leche sostiene, este amor que haga la parada de la sangre de mi 
corazón o pulse una frialdad repentina en mis huesos y haga una 
oferta mi pelo esté parado para arriba?
