UChristina Rossetti - Imibongo
Ubuhle ngamampunge
Ngoxa iirozi zibomvu
ngelixa iinyibiba zimhlophe kakhulu,
Ngaba umfazi uya kuphakamisa iimpawu zakhe
ukuzisa nje ulonwabo?
Akamnandi njengerozi
Inyibiba iphakame kakhulu kwaye iluthuthu;
kwaye ukuba ubomvu okanye umhlophe
iya kuba yinto nje enye kwezininzi.
Ukuba ubomvu ehlotyeni lothando
nokuba kusebusika iyatsha.
ukuba uqhayise ngobuhle bakhe
okanye uzifihla emva kweblush yobuxoki,
unxibe isilika emhlophe okanye ebomvu;
kwaye ibonakala igoso okanye ifana nomthi othe tye,
ixesha lihlala liphumelela ugqatso
esisithelisa phantsi kwengubo.
Emva koko baya kukhwaza
Kubonakala ngathi yinto elula ngamanye amaxesha
ndizive ndicula ngenye imini,
kodwa ngengomso
asikwazi nokuthetha.
Thula ngokunyanisekileyo
ngelixa kuthe cwaka;
ngenye imini sizakucula sobabini sithi
Thula, ubale ixesha
ukuhlasela ngalomzuzu:
lungiselela isandi,
sisondele isiphelo sethu.
Ngaba asikwazi ukucula okanye ukuzivakalisa?
Masithandaze sithe cwaka.
kwaye ucamngce ngengoma yethu yothando
ngelixa silindile.
Ingoma
Xa ndifile sithandwa sam
Musani ukundiculela iingoma zosizi
Musa ukutyala iirozi kwilitye lengcwaba lam
okanye imisipres emfiliba;
Yiba yingca eluhlaza kum
Ndimanziswe ngamathontsi nombethe.
Ukuba uyabuna, khumbula;
Kwaye ukuba uyabuna, libala.
Andisafuni kubona izithunzi,
Andisayi kuphinda ndiyive imvula,
Andisayi kuva inightingale
ecula intlungu yakhe.
Kwaye ukuphupha ngobo busuku
engabeki okanye incitshi;
Ngokonwaba mhlawumbi ndiyakukhumbula
Kwaye ngokonwaba mhlawumbi ndiyakulibala.
Isiqinisekiso kuphela
Amampunge awo amampunge, itsho iNtshumayeli;
Zonke izinto zingamampunge.
Iliso nendlebe azinakuzaliswa
Ngemifanekiso kunye nezandi.
Njengombethe wokuqala, okanye umoya
Iphaphathekile kwaye ngequbuliso isuka emoyeni
Okanye ingca encothulwe entabeni;
Unjalo umntu,
Ukudada phakathi kwethemba kunye noloyiko:
Luncinci kangakanani uvuyo lwakho,
Incinci kangakanani, imnyama!
Zide ziphele zonke izinto
Kuthuli olucothayo lokulibala.
Namhlanje kuyafana nayizolo
Ngomso omnye wabo kufuneka abe;
Akukho nto intsha phantsi kwelanga;
Kude kudlule uhlanga lwamandulo
Ukhula oludala luya kuhluma esiqwini saso esidiniweyo;
Kwaye kusasa kuya kubanda, kwaye ungcwalazi kuya kuba izimvi.
Ngaselwandle
Yini na ukuba ulwandle lunezijwili ngonaphakade?
Iphuma ezulwini iyayikhalisa
waphule umda wonxweme;
yonke imilambo yehlabathi ayinakuzalisa;
ulwandle lusasela, alunelisi.
Imimangaliso yobabalo nje
balale emandlalweni wabo;
anemones, ityuwa, dispassionate
amagqabi aneentyatyambo; ephila ngokwaneleyo
ukuvuthela nande, ube nempumelelo.
Iinkumba ezintle ezinamagophe, amanqaku okanye i-spirals,
izinto eziphilayo ezifakwe njengamehlo kaArgos,
zonke zintle ngokulinganayo, kodwa zonke azilingani,
bazalwa bengenantlungu, bafa bengenantlungu;
kwaye ke badlula.
Khumbula
Undikhumbule xa ndihamba
kude, ngakwilizwe elithe cwaka;
xa isandla sam singasakwazi ukubamba,
hayi nam, ndithandabuza ukuhamba, ndisafuna ukuhlala.
Ndikhumbule xa kungasekho mihla le,
apho undityhilele khona ikamva lethu elicwangcisiweyo:
ndikhumbuze nje, uyazi kakuhle,
xa ixesha liphelile intuthuzelo, imithandazo.
Kwaye nokuba kufuneka undilibale okomzuzwana
Ukundikhumbuza kamva, ungazisoli:
kuba ubumnyama nokonakala kuyahamba
umsantsa weengcinga endandinazo:
ngcono undilibale uncume
ukuba nindikhumbule ndiselusizini.
