GITANJALI吉檀迦利

No more noisy, loud words from me---such is my master’s will. Henceforth I deal in whispers. The speech of my heart will be carried on in murmurings of a song.
Men hasten to the King’s market. All the buyers and sellers are there. But I have my untimely leave in the middle of the day, in the thick of work.
Let then the flowers come out in my garden, though it is not their time; and let the midday bees strike up their lazy hum.
Full many an hour have I spent in the strife of the good and the evil, but now it is the pleasure of my playmate of the empty days to draw my heart on to him; and I know not why is this sudden call to what useless inconsequence!

我不再高谈阔论了――这是我主的意旨．从那时起我轻声细语．我心里的话要用歌曲低唱出来．
人们急急忙忙地到国王的市场上去，买卖的人都在那里．但在工作正忙的正午，我就早早地离开．
那就让花朵在我的园中开放，虽然花时未到；让蜜蜂在中午奏起他们慵懒的嗡哼．
我曾把充分得时间，用在理欲交战里，但如今是我暇日游侣的雅性，把我的心拉到他那里去；我也不知道这忽然的召唤，会引到什么突出的奇景． |
