On Marriage

      Then Almitra spoke again and said, "And what of Marriage, master?" 

      And he answered saying: 

      You were born together, and together you shall be forevermore. 

      You shall be together when white wings of death scatter your days. 

      Aye, you shall be together even in the silent memory of God. 

      But let there be spaces in your togetherness, 

      And let the winds of the heavens dance between you. 

      Love one another but make not a bond of love: 

      Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls. 

      Fill each other's cup but drink not from one cup. 

      Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf. 

      Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone, 

      Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music. 
      Give your hearts, but not into each other's keeping. 
      For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts. 
      And stand together, yet not too near together: 
      For the pillars of the temple stand apart, 
      And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other's shadow. 

On Children

      And a woman who held a babe against her bosom said, "Speak to us of Children." And he said: 
      Your children are not your children. 
      They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself. 
      They come through you but not from you, 

      And though they are with you, yet they belong not to you. 
      You may give them your love but not your thoughts. 
      For they have their own thoughts. 
      You may house their bodies but not their souls, 
      For their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow, which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams. 
      You may strive to be like them, but seek not to make them like you. 
      For life goes not backward nor tarries with yesterday. 
      You are the bows from which your children as living arrows are sent forth. 

      The archer sees the mark upon the path of the infinite, and He bends you with His might that His arrows   

      may go swift and far. 

      Let your bending in the archer's hand be for gladness; 
      For even as he loves the arrow that flies, so He loves also the bow that is stable.

The Coming of the Ship

      Almustafa, the chosen and the beloved, who was a dawn unto his own day, had waited twelve years in the city of Orphalese for his ship that was to return and bear him back to the isle of his birth. 
      And in the twelfth year, on the seventh day of Ielool, the month of reaping, he climbed the hill without the city walls and looked seaward; and he beheld the ship coming with the mist. 
      Then the gates of his heart were flung open, and his joy flew far over the sea. And he closed his eyes and prayed in the silences of his soul.

ትግራይ ላከ ወሎ ጋ አበድሮኝ ብሎ አንድ ቁና ጤፍ

ወሎም አፈረና የለኝም ማለቱን ባህሉን መዝለፍ

            ቆሌውን መንቀፍ

ላከ ወደሸዋ ምናልባት ቢሰጠው ለሰው እሚተርፍ።

ሸዋም አፈረና የለኝም ማለቱን ወደ ሐረር ዞረ

ሐረርም መልሶ ባሌን አተኮረ

ባሌም ወደአርሲ አርሲ ሲዳሞን

ሲዳሞም ተክዞ፣ ግን የለኝም ብልስ ማን ያምነኛል ብሎ

ወደ ጋሞ ላከ አቁማዳ ጠቅሎ።

ጋሞን ብርድ መታው ሐዘን ገባውና

የራሱን ምንዳቤ የግል ስቅየቱን ችሎት በጥሞና

በጋቢ ጀቡኖ የልቡን ጠባሳ ሲኖር እንደ ደህና

ዛሬ የወንድሙን የእርዳኝ አቤቱታ መስማት አልቻለና።

አውጥቶና አውርዶ ላከ ወደ ከፋ እጅግ አስተዛዝኖ

ከሀፍረት ያድነኛል ከረሃብ ያወጣኛል ሲል በአያሌው አምኖ።

አገሬ ውበት ነው፣

ለምለምና ነፋስ የሚጫወትበት፣

ፀሃይ የሞላበት፣ ቀለም የሞላበት።

አገሬ ቆላ ነው፣ ደጋ ወይና ደጋ፣

እዚያ ብርሃን አለ ሌሊቱ እስኪነጋ።

አገሬ ተራራ ሸለቆ ረባዳ፣

አገሬ ጅረት ነው ገደልና ሜዳ፣

ውበት ነው በበጋ ፀሃይ አትፋጅም፣

ክረምቱም አይበርድም፣

አይበርድም፣ አይበርድም። 

አገሬ ጫካ ነው፣

እንሰሳት አራዊት የሚፈነጩበት፣

በወጥመድ ሳይገቡ ሳይነካቸው ጠላት።

እዚያ አለ ነፃነት፣

NILE: A Poem by Tsegaye Gebre-Medhin

I am the first Earth Mother of all fertility

I am the Source I am the Nile I am the African I am the beginning

O Arabia, how could you so conveniently have forgotten

While your breath still hangs upon the threads of my springs

O Egypt, you prodigal daughter born from my first love

I am your Queen of the endless fresh waters

Who rested my head upon the arms of Narmer Ka Menes

When we joined in one our Upper and Lower Lands to create you

bosom of my being

How could you so conveniently count down

In miserable billions of petty cubic yards

The eternal drops of my life giving Nile to you

Beginning long before the earth fell from the eye ball of heaven,

O Nile, that gush out from my breath of life

Upon the throats of the billions of the Earth's thirsty multitudes,

O World, how could you so conveniently have forgotten

That I, your first fountain, I your ever Ethiopia

I your first life still survive for you?

በሰዓሊና ገጣሚ ገብረ ክርስቶስ ደስታ/ እኔ እወድሻለሁ

ብዙ ሺህ ዘመናት
እልፍ አእላፍ ሌሊት
ሚሊዮን መሰለኝ
ፍቅሬ አንችን ስወድሽ ቀኑ ረዘመብኝ።
እኔ እወድሻለሁ
የሰማይ መሬቱን
የባህር ስፋቱን
የዓለም ዳርቻ የርቀቱን ያህል
እንደ ፅጌ-ረዳ
እንደ አደይ አበባ
እንደ ሎሚ ሽታ፡፡
እንደ እጣን ጢስ እንጨት፣ እንደ ከርቤ ብርጉድ፣
እኔ እወድሻለሁ፣
አበባ እንዳየ ንብ፡፡
