雙語《園丁集》 若是你要忙著把水瓶灌滿

12

IF you would be busy and fill your pitcher, come, O come to my lake.

The water will cling round your feet and babble its secret.

The shadow of the coming rain is on the sands, and the clouds hang low upon the blue lines of the trees like the heavy hair above your eyebrows.

I know well the rhythm of your steps, they are beating in my heart.

Come, O come to my lake, if you must fill your pitcher.

If you would be idle and sit listless and let your pitcher float on the water, come, O come to my lake.

The grassy slope is green, and the wild flowers beyond number.

Your thoughts will stray out of your dark eyes like birds from their nests.

Your veil will drop to your feet.

Come, O come to my lake if you must sit idle.

If you would leave off your play and dive in the water, come, O come to my lake.

Let your blue mantle lie on the shore; the blue water will cover you and hide you.

The waves will stand a-tiptoe to kiss your neck and whisper in your ears.

Come, O come to my lake, if you would dive in the water.

If you must be mad and leap to your death, come, O come to my lake.

It is cool and fathomlessly deep.

It is dark like a sleep that is dreamless.

There in its depths nights and days are one, and songs are silence.

Come, O come to my lake, if you would plunge to your death.

若是你要忙著把水瓶灌滿，來吧，到我的湖上來吧。

湖水將回繞在你的腳邊，潺潺地說出它的秘密。

沙灘上有了欲來的雨云的陰影，

云霧低垂在叢樹的綠線上，像你眉上的濃發(fā)。

我深深地熟悉你腳步的韻律，它在我心中敲擊。

來吧，到我的湖上來吧，如果你必須把水瓶灌滿。

如果你想懶散閑坐，讓你的水瓶飄浮在水面，

來吧，到我的湖上來吧。

草坡碧綠，野花多得數(shù)不清。

你的思想將從你烏黑的眼眸中飛出，

像鳥兒飛出窩巢。

你的披紗將褪落到腳上。

來吧，如果你要閑坐，到我的湖上來吧。

如果你想撇下嬉游跳進(jìn)水里，來吧，到我的湖上來吧。

把你的蔚藍(lán)的絲巾留在岸上；

蔚藍(lán)的水將沒過你，蓋住你。

水波將躡足來吻你的頸項(xiàng)，在你耳邊低語。

來吧，如果你想跳進(jìn)水里，到我的湖上來吧。

如果你想發(fā)狂而投入死亡，來吧，到我的湖上來吧。

它是清涼的，深到無底。

它沉黑得像無夢(mèng)的睡眠。

在它的深處黑夜就是白天，歌曲就是靜默。

來吧，如果你想投入死亡，到我的湖上來吧。
