酷我-北美枫

[金舟]

一个萼片，一叶花瓣，和一根荆棘[19]



一个萼片，一叶花瓣，和一根荆棘

在一个普通的夏日晨曦—

一瓶露水—一只或两只蜜蜂—

一缕轻风—一株马槟榔长在树林里—

而我，则是一朵玫瑰!



19



A sepal, petal, and a thorn

Upon a common summer's morn --

A flask of Dew -- A Bee or two --

A Breeze -- a caper in the trees --

And I'm a Rose!





我们输—因为我们赢—[21]



我们输—因为我们赢—

赌徒们—想到这些

再次去掷他们的骰子！





21



We lose -- because we win --

Gamblers -- recollecting which

Toss their dice again!





在几天前—我丢失了一个世界![181]



在几天前—我丢失了一个世界!

是否有人找到?

你会知道它的

通过那排星星在它额前围绕。



一个富人—也许不会注意到它—

可是—对于我这朴素的眼力

它比金钱更贵重

啊先生—请为我—将它寻觅！



181



I lost a World - the other day!

Has Anybody found?

You'll know it by the Row of Stars

Around its forehead bound.



A Rich man -- might not notice it --

Yet -- to my frugal Eye,

Of more Esteem than Ducats --

Oh find it -- Sir -- for me!





化学确信[954]



化学确信

没什么丧失

能在灾难中实现

我已断裂的信念



假如我会见到

那原子们的面貌

更多精美的创造物

会离我走掉！



954



The Chemical conviction

That Nought be lost

Enable in Disaster

My fractured Trust --



The Faces of the Atoms

If I shall see

How more the Finished Creatures

Departed me!



死于我的音乐！[1003]



死于我的音乐！

沸腾！沸腾！

延持我直到八度音奏响！

快！炸破窗！

慢慢的！

只剩下小药瓶，和太阳！



1003



Dying at my music!

Bubble! Bubble!

Hold me till the Octave's run!

Quick! Burst the Windows!

Ritardando!

Phials left, and the Sun!



我们知道他第一是死亡—[1006]



我们知道他首先是死亡—

其次—是—声誉—

那第一项已被证明

这第二项尚无证据。





1006



The first We knew of Him was Death --

The second -- was -- Renown --

Except the first had justified

The second had not been.



若大自然微笑—母亲则更不必说[1085]



如果大自然微笑—我确信

母亲则更不必说，本来

她古怪家族就有许多奇思妙想--

是否她应受到这么多谴责？





1085



If Nature smiles -- the Mother must

I'm sure, at many a whim

Of Her eccentric Family --

Is She so much to blame?





我看到她内心的风[1502]



我看到她心里的风

我知道它为我吹—

但她必须购买我的庇护所

我需要谦卑



1502



I saw the wind within her

I knew it blew for me --

But she must buy my shelter

I asked Humility



攀登达到高贵的心[1566]



攀登达到高贵的心

他已给它们标定了价值

他打碎了它们，害怕惩罚

他逃离开这大地—





1566



Climbing to reach the costly Hearts

To which he gave the worth,

He broke them, fearing punishment

He ran away from Earth --





看她是一幅图画—[1568]



看她是一幅图画—

听她是一曲乐音—

懂她是一种放纵

就象六月一样天真—

不懂她是—折磨—

拥有她作一位友人

一种温暖就象一颗

在你手中发光的太阳那么近。



1568



To see her is a Picture --

To hear her is a Tune --

To know her an Intemperance

As innocent as June --

To know her not -- Affliction --

To own her for a Friend

A warmth as near as if the Sun

Were shining in your Hand.



他吃喝下宝贵的词语—[1587]



他吃喝下宝贵的词语—

他的灵魂茁壮成长—

他不再知道他曾是穷人，

也不知道他的身躯是尘埃



他在昏暗的日子里独舞

而这个翅膀的馈赠

只是一本书—自由

被一个放松的灵魂带来—



1587



He ate and drank the precious Words --

His Spirit grew robust --

He knew no more that he was poor,

Nor that his frame was Dust --



He danced along the dingy Days

And this Bequest of Wings

Was but a Book -- What Liberty

A loosened spirit brings --





沉思的困倦[1592]



沉思的困倦

引发一种力量

它们是还在度假的激情

使他恢复—

梦想在行动中加强—

多么美丽的勇气



1592



The Lassitudes of Contemplation

Beget a force

They are the spirit's still vacation

That him refresh --

The Dreams consolidate in action --

What mettle fair





那么把我还给死亡—[1632]



那么把我还给死亡—

那个我从不恐惧的死亡

除了它让你丧失—

而今，当生命被剥夺，

我在自己的坟墓里，呼吸

并估计着它的大小—

它的大小是整个地狱能猜出的—

还有整个天堂—



1632



So give me back to Death --

The Death I never feared

Except that it deprived of thee --

And now, by Life deprived,

In my own Grave I breathe

And estimate its size --

Its size is all that Hell can guess --

And all that Heaven was --





去碰触你是否已经太晚，亲爱的?[1637]



去碰触你是否已经太晚，亲爱的？

此刻我们已经知道—

去爱海洋和陆地—

还有天空—



1637



Is it too late to touch you, Dear?

We this moment knew --

Love Marine and Love terrene --

Love celestial too --





一封信是大地的一个喜悦—[1639]



一封信是大地的一个喜悦—

它拒绝了神—



1639



A Letter is a joy of Earth --

It is denied the Gods --
