I had no time to Hate

I had no time to Hate -
Because
The Grave would hinder me -
And Life was not so
Ample I
Could finish--Enmity -

Nor had I time to Love -
But since
Some Industry must be -
The little Toil of Love -
I thought
Was large enough for Me .

Emily Dickinson

На ненависть нет времени -
Могила тут, как тут.
И хоть не сахар жизнь моя,
Пускай враги живут.

Что время на любовь терять -
Усилий нужен пуд.
Я думала, любить легко,
А, оказалось - труд.
