lyrics

I heard a Fly buzz – when I died –
The Stillness in the Room
Was like the Stillness in the Air –
Between the Heaves of Storm –

The Eyes around – had wrung them dry –
And Breaths were gathering firm
For that last Onset – when the King
Be witnessed – in the Room –

I willed my Keepsakes – Signed away
What portions of me be
Assignable – and then it was
There interposed a Fly –

With Blue – uncertain stumbling Buzz –
Between the light – and me –
And then the Windows failed – and then
I could not see to see -

Una Mosca zumbó
– mientras moría -
La Calma en ese Cuarto
Fue semejante a la Quietud del Aire -
Entre una Ola y otra de Tormenta -

Las Miradas en torno
– ya sin lágrimas -
Y los Alientos firmemente unidos
Para el último Trance
– cuando el Rey
Penetrara – en el Cuarto -

Mis Memorias legué – y Cedí la parte
Que de mi ser quedaba
Aún por asignar
– fue en ese instante
Cuando irrumpió la Mosca -

Con un Azul – Zumbido vacilante -
Entre la luz – y yo – y luego
Se cerró la Ventana – y luego
Ya no pude ver para ver -

Emily Dickinson
