我從未看過荒原
我從未看過荒原--
我從未看過海洋--
可我知道石楠的容貌
和狂濤巨浪。
我從未與上帝交談
也不曾拜訪過天堂--
可我好像已通過檢查
壹定會到那個地方 。
I never saw a moor
I never saw a Moor--
I never saw the Sea--
Yet know I how the Heather looks
And what a Billow be.
I never spoke with God
Nor visited in Heaven--
Yet certain am I of the spot
As if the Checks were given--
雲暗
天低又復雲暗，
飛過雪花壹片。
穿越車轍馬圈，
去留擇決艱難。
誰人這樣待風，
令其整天抱怨。
自然猶如我等，
時常沒戴皇冠。
Beclouded
THE sky is low, the clouds are mean,
A travelling flake of snow
Across a barn or through a rut
Debates if it will go.
A narrow wind complains all day
How some one treated him;
Nature, like us, is sometimes caught
Without her diadem.
逃亡
我壹聽說"逃亡"這個詞
血液就加快奔流,
壹個突然的期望,
壹個想飛的沖動。
我從未聽說敞開的監獄
被戰士們攻陷,
但我幼稚的用力拖我的圍欄--
只不過再失敗!
Escape
I NEVER hear the word "escape"
Without a quicker blood,
A sudden expectation,
A flying attitude.
I never hear of prisons broad
by soldiers battered down,
But I tug childish at my bars--
Only to fail again!
希望
" 希望" 是物長著羽毛
寄居在靈魂裏，
唱著沒有詞的曲調，
絕無絲毫停息，
微風吹送最為甘甜
暴雨致痛無疑
能夠使得小鳥不安
保有此多暖意。
聽它越過奇妙大海
飛遍嚴寒田地
可它不要我面包屑
哪怕饑餓至極。
"Hope"
"HOPE" is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul，
And sings the tune without the words，
And never stops at all，
And sweetest in the gale is heard;
And sore must be the storm
That could abash the little bird
That kept so many warm.
I’ve heard it in the chillest land,
And on the strangest Sea;
Yet, never, in extremity,
It asked a crumb of Me.
