ANTHEM FOR DOOMED YOUTH

"What passing-bells for these who die as cattle?

Only the monstrous anger of the guns.

Only the stuttering rifles' rapid rattle

Can patter out their hasty orisons.

No mockeries now for them; no prayers nor bells;

Nor any voice of mourning save the choirs, –

The shrill, demented choirs of wailing shells;

And bugles calling for them from sad shires.

What candles may be held to speed them all?

Not in the hands of boys but in their eyes

Shall shine the holy glimmers of goodbyes.

The pallor of girls' brows shall be their pall;

Their flowers the tenderness of patient minds,

And each slow dusk a drawing-down of blinds."


HIMNO A LA JUVENTUD CONDENADA

¿Doblarán las campanas por aquellos que mueren como ganado?
Sólo la rabia monstruosa de los cañones
el rápido tartamudeo de los fusiles
pueden rezarles una breve plegaria.

Para ellos, no más ceremonias, oraciones ni campanas
ni voces de luto o salvas en coros,
Sólo el agudo, rabioso gemido de coros de obuses
y clarines llamándolos desde dolientes condados.

¿Qué candelabros pueden encenderse para ellos?
No en sus manos de niños sino en sus ojos
brillará la sagrada luz de los adioses.

La pálida mirada de las muchachas serán sus mortajas;
Sus ofrendas, la ternura de dolidos recuerdos
y cada lento atardecer se inclinará ante sus memorias."

Wilfred Owen.
March 8th 1893 - November 4th 1918

Spanish Version by Juan Carlos García Araya
Taken from La Poesía Inglesa de Trincheras. London, March 1st 2010.
