XXXIV
Skerryvore
Robert Louis Stevenson
From Underwoods
For love of lovely words, and for the sake
Of those, my kinsmen and my countrymen,
Who early and late in the windy ocean toiled
To plant a star for seamen, where was then
The surfy haunt of seals and cormorants:
I, on the lintel of this cot, inscribe
The name of a strong tower.
愛情の籠った言葉を遣う愛する人の為に、そして
それらの為に、僕の親戚の者達や僕の同郷者達、
彼らは朝早く夜遅くと精を出して働いた
船乗りの為に星を置く為に。
