롱펠로(Henry Wadsworth Longfellow) - [인생 찬가](A Psalm of Life)

A Psalm of Life

By Henry Wadsworth Longfellow           

What The Heart Of The Young Man Said To The Psalmist.

Tell me not, in mournful numbers,

   Life is but an empty dream!

For the soul is dead that slumbers,

   And things are not what they seem.

Life is real! Life is earnest!

   And the grave is not its goal;

Dust thou art, to dust returnest,

   Was not spoken of the soul.

Not enjoyment, and not sorrow,

   Is our destined end or way;

But to act, that each to-morrow

   Find us farther than to-day.

Art is long, and Time is fleeting,

   And our hearts, though stout and brave,

Still, like muffled drums, are beating

   Funeral marches to the grave.

In the world’s broad field of battle,

   In the bivouac of Life,

Be not like dumb, driven cattle!

   Be a hero in the strife!

Trust no Future, howe’er pleasant!

   Let the dead Past bury its dead!

Act,— act in the living Present!

   Heart within, and God o’erhead!

Lives of great men all remind us

   We can make our lives sublime,

And, departing, leave behind us

   Footprints on the sands of time;

Footprints, that perhaps another,

   Sailing o’er life’s solemn main,

A forlorn and shipwrecked brother,

   Seeing, shall take heart again.

Let us, then, be up and doing,

   With a heart for any fate;

Still achieving, still pursuing,

   Learn to labor and to wait.

A Psalm of Life

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Tell me not, in mournful numbers,

Life is but an empty dream!(…)

Life is real! Life is earnest!

And the grave is not its goal(…)

Trust no future, howe’er pleasant!

Let the dead Past bury its dead!

Act,--act in the living present!(…)

Let us, then, be up and doing,

With a heart for any fate;

Still achieving, still pursuing,

Learn to labor and to wait. (부분)

인생찬가

헨리 워즈워드 롱펠로

구슬픈 가락으로 내게 말하지 말라

인생은 한낱 허망한 꿈이라고!(…)

삶은 환상이 아니다! 삶은 엄숙한 것이다!

무덤이 삶의 목표는 아니다.(…)

아무리 즐겁게 보인들 ‘미래’를 믿지 말라

죽은 ‘과거’는 죽은 이들이나 파묻게 하라

행동하라―살아있는 현재 속에서 행동하라!(…)

그러니 이제 우리 일어나 무엇이든 하자.

어떤 운명과도 맞설 용기를 가지고

언제나 성취하고 언제나 추구하며

일하고 기다리는 법을 배우자. (부분)
