《飞鸟集》271—280
２７１
大地呀 , 我到你岸上时是一个陌生人 , 住在你屋内时是一个宾客 , 离开你的门时是一个朋友 .
I came to your shore as a stranger, I lived in your house as a guest,I leave your door as a friend, my earth.
２７２
当我去时 , 让我的思想到你那里来 , 如那夕阳的余光 , 映在沉默的星天的边上 .
Let my thoughts come to you, when I am gone, like the after glow of sunset at the margin of starry silence.
２７３
在我的心头燃点起那休憩的黄昏星吧 , 然后让黑夜向我微语着爱情 .
Light in my heart the evening star of rest and then let the night whisper to me of love.
２７４
我是一个在黑暗中的孩子 .
我从夜的被单里向您伸出我的双手 , 母亲 .
I am a child in the dark.
I stretch my hands through the coverlet of night for thee, Mother.
２７５
白天的工作完了 . 把我的脸掩藏在您的臂间吧 , 母亲 .
让我入梦吧 .
The day of work is done. Hide my face in your arms, Mother.
Let me dream.
２７６
集会时的灯光 , 点了很久 , 会散时 , 灯便立刻灭了 .
The lamp of meeting burns long; it goes out in a moment at the parting.
２７７
当我死时 , 世界呀 , 请在你的沉默中 , 替我留着“我已经爱过了”这句话吧 .
One word keep for me in thy silence, O World, when I am dead, I have loved.
２７８
我们在热爱世界时便生活在这世界上 .
We live in this world when we love it.
２７９
让死者有那不朽的名 , 但让生者有那不朽的爱 .
Let the dead have the immortality of fame, but the living the immortality of love.
２８０
我看见你 , 象那半醒的婴孩在黎明的微光里看见他的母亲 , 于是微笑而又睡去了 .
I have seen thee as the half-awakened child sees his mother in the dusk of the dawn and then smiles and sleeps again. |
