Under Milk Wood - Unter dem Milchwald

"It is spring, moonless night in the small town, starless
and bible-black, the cobblestreets silent and the hunched,
courters'-and-rabbits' wood limping invisible down to the
sloeblack, slow, black, crowblack, fishingboatbobbing sea.
The houses are blind as moles (though moles see fine to-night
in the snouting, velvet dingles) or blind as Captain Cat
there in the muffled middle by the pump and the town clock,
the shops in mourning, the Welfare Hall in widows' weeds.
And all the people of the lulled and dumbfound town are
sleeping now."
...
...
...
"The thin night darkens. A breeze from the creased water
sighs the streets close under Milk waking Wood. The Wood,
whose every tree-foot's cloven in the black glad sight of
the hunters of lovers, that is a God-built garden to Mary
Ann Sailors who knows there is Heaven on earth and the
chosen people of His kind fire in Llaregyb's land, that is
the fairday farmhands' wantoning ignorant chapel of
bridesbeds, and, to the Reverend Eli Jenkins, a greenleaved
sermon on the innocence of men, the suddenly wind-shaken
wood springs awake for the second dark time this one
Spring day."

"Es ist Frühling, mondlose Nacht in einer kleinen Stadt, sternlos und bibelschwarz, die Kopfpflasterstraßen still, und der geduckte Liebespärchen- und Kaninchenwald humpelt unsichtbar hinab zur schlehenschwarzen, zähen, schwarzen, krähenschwarzen fischerbootschaukelnden See... Die Babies schlafen, die Bauern, die Fischer, die Händler und Rentner, der Schuster, Schullehrer, Schankwirt und Briefträger, der Leichenbestatter und das leichte Weib, Säufer und Schneider, Pfarrer und Polizist, die schwimmfüßigen Muschelweiber und reinlichen Hausfrauen... Du kannst den Tau fallen hören und die eingewiegte Stadt atmen..."
