Dorothy Parker
作者：多蘿西·帕克
Star, that gives a gracious dole,
星辰，閃著親切的光
What am I to choose?
而我，又該何去何從？
Oh, will it be a shriven soul,
啊，那究竟是懺悔的靈魂
Or little buckled shoes?
還是，小小的扣帶鞋？
Shall I wish a wedding-ring,
我能否要個結婚鉆戒
Bright and thin and round,
閃爍，小巧而精致
Or plead you send me covering-
不然就請妳把我送進-
A newly spaded mound?
壹座新掘的墳墓？
Gentle beam, shall I implore
溫和的星光，我能否祈求
Gold, or sailing-ships,
黃金，和出海的船只
Or beg I hate forevermore
不然就讓我永遠憎恨
A pair of lying lips?
那充滿謊言的嘴唇？
Swing you low or high away,
妳在天空搖曳，時遠時近
Burn you hot or dim;
時而閃耀，時而暗淡
My only wish I dare not say-
我唯壹的願望卻不敢言-
Lest you should grant me him.
讓妳許我壹個他Dreams
夢想

For when dreams go

Life is a barren field
生命將是壹片荒原
Frozen with snow
