UMary Hall , ummeli waseMelika, ngo-1843-1927
Uma kufanele ngife futhi ngikushiye lapha isikhashana,
ungafani nabanye abahlukunyezwayo,

Ngami ngiphinde ngiphile futhi ngimomotheka,

ukwenza okuthile ukududuza ezinye izinhliziyo kunami.
Qedela le mi sebenzi engathandeki engapheli
futhi mina ngiyakwazi ukukududuza.
U-Emily Dickinson , imbongi yaseMelika, ngo-1830-1886
I-Bustle endlini
Ikusasa emva kokufa
Isikhulu kakhulu sezimboni
Yenzelwe Emhlabeni -
Ukuhlunga Inhliziyo
Futhi ubeka uthando kude
Ngeke sifune ukusebenzisa futhi
Kuze kube phakade -
UHenry Van Dyke , umbhali waseMelika, 1852-1933
Ngimi ngasogwini lolwandle. Umkhumbi, ohlangothini lwami,
isakaza imoto yakhe emhlophe kuya emoyeni ohambayo futhi iqala
ngenxa yolwandle oluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka. Uyinto enhle nobuhle.
Ngimi futhi ngiyibheke kuze kube yilapho, ekugcineni, ilenga njenge-speck
wefu elimhlophe lapho lapho ulwandle nesibhakabhaka behlangana khona.
Khona-ke, omunye umuntu ohlangothini lwami uthi, "Lapha, usuhambe."
Uhambe kuphi?
Ngingaboni emehlweni ami. Ilokho kuphela. Ungumkhulu kakhulu emanzini,
hull and spar njengoba wayekhona ngenkathi eshiya ohlangothini lwami.
Futhi, uyakwazi ukuwuthwala umthwalo wakhe wempahla ehlala echwebeni lakhe elifakiwe.
Ubukhulu bakhe obunciphile bukuye - hhayi kuye.
Futhi, ngomzuzwana lapho omunye ethi, "Kukhona, usele,"
kunamanye amehlo ambuka ukuza kwakhe, namanye amazwi
ukulungele ukuthatha ukukhamuluka kwenjabulo, "Bheka ufika!"
Futhi lokho kufa ...
UMary Elizabeth Frye , isazi sezimbali saseMelika, 1905-2004
Ungemi ethuneni lami futhi ukhale.
Angikho lapho; Angilali.
Nginguye imimoya eyinkulungwane ehlabayo.
Ngingu-diamond eneziqhwa eqhweni.
Ngilanga ilanga ngokusanhlamvu okuvuthiwe.
Nginguye imvula yamandla ekwindla.
Uma uvuka ekuseni
Ngiyashesha ukuphakamisa ngokushesha
Ezinyoni ezinokuthula ezijikelezayo.
Nginguye izinkanyezi ezithambile ezikhanya ebusuku.
Ungemi ethuneni lami futhi ukhale;
Angikho lapho; Angizange ngife.
UThomas Bailey Aldrich , umhleli waseMelika, 1836-1907
Ngibambe incwadi yami esandleni sami,
Ngisho nalapho ngifunda
Umbani wabhalela umhlaba wonke
Igama lokuthi wayefile.
Yeka indlela okwakumangalisa ngayo! Izwi lakhe eliphilayo
Ukukhuluma kusuka ekhasini
Lezo zinkulumo ezihloniphekile,
Inhliziyo ekhanyayo, ehlakaniphile, ehlakaniphile.
Ngangizibuza ukuthi yikuphi okwafa!
Lo muntu ngokwakhe wayelapha,
Ukuthobeka kwakhe, ukuziqhenya kwakhe,
Umphefumulo wakhe ukhululekile futhi ucacile.
Lokhu akuyikufa noma isikhathi,
Noma kunjalo le nto edabukisayo kumele ibe -
Kusukela manje angikhulumi kuye,
Nakuba angakhuluma nami!
UHarry Scott-Holland , uthisha waseBrithani, ngo-1847-1918
Ukufa akulutho neze.
Akubalanga.
Ngifinyelele ekamelweni elilandelayo kuphela.
Akukho okwenzekile.
Konke kuhlala ngendlela efanayo.
Nginguye, futhi nguwe,
futhi impilo endala esasihlala ngayo ngokuthanda kakhulu ayitholakalanga, ingashintshi.
Kungakhathaliseki ukuthi sasiyini komunye nomunye, ukuthi sisaphila.
Ngibize ngegama elidala elijwayele.
Khuluma ngami ngendlela elula oyisebenzisayo ngaso sonke isikhathi.
Ungabeki umehluko efonini yakho.
Ungagqozi umoya ophoqelelwe wenkolo noma usizi.
Hlaka njengoba sasihleka ngaso sonke isikhathi amahlaya amancane esiwajabulela ndawonye.
Dlala, smile, cabanga ngami, ngithandazele.
Vumela igama lami libe yilizwi lekhaya elihlala njalo.
Makukhulunywe ngaphandle komzamo, ngaphandle kwesimo somthunzi kuso.
Ukuphila kusho konke okwakushiwo.
Kuyafana nokuthi kwenzeka kanjani.
Kukhona ukuqhubeka okuphelele nokungapheli.
Kuyini lokhu kufa kodwa ingozi enganaki?
Kungani kufanele ngibe engqondweni ngoba ngingaboni?
Ngiyakulindela, isikhathi esithile,
endaweni ethile eduze kakhulu,
nje nxazonke ekhoneni.
Konke kuhamba kahle.
Akukho okulimazayo; akukho okulahlekile.
Omunye umzuzwana omfushane nawo wonke uzoba njengangaphambili.
Sizohleka kanjani ekuhluphekeni kokuhlukanisa uma sihlangana futhi!
UDavid Harkins , umculi waseBrithani, ngo-1958-
Ungakwazi ukukhala izinyembezi ukuthi usekho,
noma ungamomotheka ngoba uphile.
Ungavala amehlo akho futhi uthandaze ukuthi uzobuya,
noma ungavula amehlo akho ubone konke okusele.
Inhliziyo yakho ingabi nalutho ngoba awukwazi ukuyibona,
noma ungagcwala uthando owabelane ngalo.
Ungabuyela emuva kusasa bese uhlala izolo,
noma ungajabula ngekusasa ngoba izolo.
Ungamkhumbula yena kuphela ukuthi usekho,
noma ungayithanda imemori yakhe futhi uyivumele iphile.
Ungakhala futhi uvale ingqondo yakho,
ungabi nalutho bese uphindela emuva.
Noma ungenza lokho angathanda:
smile, vula amehlo akho, uthando futhi uqhubeke.
