Here is a few poems translated into American Sign Language (ASL).
"Eternity into an Hour" by William Blake (1757-1827) from "Auguries of Innocence". Translated into ASL in August 2008.
To see a world in a grain of sand
And heaven in a wild flower
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand
And eternity in an hour.
"The Eclipse": a poem by American poet Richard Eberhart (1904 - 2005).
Translated into American Sign Language from:
I stood out in the open cold
To see the essence of the eclipse
Which was its perfect darkness.
I stood in the cold on the porch
And could not think of anything so perfect
As mans hope of light in the face of darkness.
