GITANJALI吉檀迦利
by Rabindranath tagore
33.
When it was day they came into my house and said, `We shall only take the smallest room here.'
They said, `We shall help you in the worship of your God and humbly accept only our own share in his grace'; and then they took their seat in a corner and they sat quiet and meek.
But in the darkness of night I find they break into my sacred shrine, strong and turbulent, and snatch with unholy greed the offerings from God's altar.
33
白天的时候，他们来到我的房子里说：“我们只占用最小的一间屋子。”
他们说：“我们要帮忙你礼拜你的上帝，而且只谦恭地领受我们应得的一份恩典”；
他们就在屋角安静谦柔地坐下。
但是在黑夜里，我发现他们强暴地冲进我的圣堂，贪婪地攫取了神坛上的祭品。 |
