Pronunciation & Translation

Boats sail on the rivers,

And ships sail on the seas;

But clouds that sail across the sky

Are prettier far than these.

(बोट्स सेल ऑन द रिवर्स,

एण्ड शिप्स सेल ऑन द सीज;

बट क्लाउड्स दैट सेल अक्रॉस द स्काई

आर प्रिटिअ फार दैन दीज)

अनुवाद – नावें नदी पर तैरती हैं,

और जहाज समुद्र पर तैरते हैं;

परन्तु बादल जो आकाश में तैरते हैं,

वे उनसे कहीं अधिक सुन्दर हैं।

There are bridges on the rivers,

As pretty as you please,

But the bow that bridges heaven,

And overtops the trees,

And builds a road from earth to sky,

Is prettier far than these.

…. Christina Georgina Rossetti

(देयर आर ब्रिजेज ऑन द रिवर्स,

एज प्रिटि एज यू प्लीज,

बट द बो दैट ब्रिजिज़ हेवन

एण्ड ओवरटॉप्स द ट्रीज,

एण्ड बिल्ड्स अ रोड फ्रॉम अर्थ टू स्काई,

इज प्रिटिअ फार दैन दीज.)

क्राइस्टिना जॉर्जीना रोसेटी

अनुवाद – “नदियों पर पुल होते हैं;

इतने सुन्दर जो तुम्हें अच्छे लगते हैं,

लेकिन इन्द्रधनुष जो आकाश पर पुल बनाता है,

और पेड़ों के ऊपर से जाता है,

और पृथ्वी से आसमान तक एक रास्ता बनाता है,

इनसे कहीं अधिक सुन्दर हैं।
