William Butler Yeats: The Song Of The Old Mother (English)

 
I rise in the dawn, and I kneel and blow 
Till the seed of the fire flicker and glow; 
And then I must scrub and bake and sweep 
Till stars are beginning to blink and peep; 
And the young lie long and dream in their bed 
Of the matching of ribbons for bosom and head, 
And their day goes over in idleness, 
And they sigh if the wind but lift a tress: 
While I must work because I am old, 
And the seed of the fire gets feeble and cold. 

Maître d'hôtel Yeats De William: La Chanson De la Vieille (French)

Mère 

Je me lève dans l'aube, et je me mets à genoux et souffle jusqu'à 
la graine du clignotement du feu et rougeoie; Et alors je dois 
frotter et faire cuire au four et champ jusqu'à ce que les étoiles 
commencent à clignoter et piauler; Et le jeune mensonge long et 
rêveur dans leur lit de l'assortiment des rubans pour la poitrine et 
la tête, et leur jour entre plus de dans l'oisiveté, et elles soupir 
si le vent mais soulèvent des tress: Tandis que je dois travailler 
parce que je suis vieux, et la graine du feu refroidit faible et. 

William Kellermeister Yeats: Das Lied Der Alten Mutter (German)

 
Ich steige in die Dämmerung, und ich knie und brenne bis den Samen 
des Feueraufflackerns durch und glühe; Und dann muß ich mich 
scheuern und backen und Schleife, bis Sterne anfangen zu blinken und 
zu lugen; Und die junge Lüge, die in ihrem Bett des Zusammenbringens 
der Bänder für Busen und Kopf lang und Traum sind, und ihr Tag geht 
darüber in Nutzlosigkeit und in sie Seufzer hinaus, wenn der Wind 
aber tress anheben: Während ich arbeiten muß, weil ich alt bin und 
der Samen des Feuers kühlt schwach und ab. 

Mordomo Yeats De William: A Canção Da Mãe Velha (Portuguese)

 
Eu levanto-me no alvorecer, e eu ajoelho-me e fundo-me até a semente 
da cintilação do fogo e incandesço-me; E então eu devo esfregar e 
cozer e varredura até que as estrelas estão começando a piscar e 
peep; E a mentira nova longa e ideal em sua cama de combinar das fitas 
para o bosom e a cabeça, e seu dia ultrapassam no idleness, e nelas 
sigh se o vento mas levantar tress: Quando eu dever trabalhar porque 
eu sou velho, e a semente do fogo começa feeble e frio. 

Mayordomo Yeats De Guillermo: La Canción De la Vieja Madre (Spanish)

 
Me levanto en el amanecer, y me arrodillo y soplo hasta la semilla del 
parpadeo del fuego y brillo intensamente; Y después debo fregar y 
cocer al horno y barrido hasta que las estrellas están comenzando a 
centelleo y a mirar furtivamente; Y la mentira joven larga e ideal en 
su cama de emparejar de las cintas para el pecho y la cabeza, y su 
día pasa en ociosidad, y ellas suspiro si el viento pero levanta 
tress: Mientras que debo trabajar porque soy viejo, y la semilla del 
fuego se enfría débil y.
