雙語《園丁集》 又是你呼喚我嗎？

65

IS that your call again?

The evening has come. Weariness clings round me like the arms of entreating love.

Do you call me?

I had given all my day to you, cruel mistress, must you also rob me of my night?

Somewhere there is an end to everything, and the loneness of the dark is one's own.

Must your voice cut through it and smite me?

Has the evening no music of sleep at your gate?

Do the silent-winged stars never climb the sky above your pitiless tower?

Do the flowers never drop on the dust in soft death in your garden?

Must you call me, you unquiet one?

Then let the sad eyes of love vainly watch and weep.

Let the lamp burn in the lonely house.

Let the ferry-boat take the weary labourers to their home.

I leave behind my dreams and I hasten to your call.

65

又是你呼喚我嗎？

夜來到了，

困乏像愛的懇求用雙臂圍抱住我。

你叫我了嗎？

我已把整天的工夫給了你，殘忍的主婦，

你還定要掠奪我的夜晚嗎？

萬事都有個終結(jié)，黑暗的靜寂是個人獨(dú)有的。

你的聲音定要穿透黑暗來刺激我嗎？

難道你門前的夜晚沒有音樂和睡眠嗎？

難道那翅翼不響的星辰，

從來不攀登你的不仁之塔的上空嗎？

難道你園中的花朵，永不在綿軟的死亡中墮地嗎？

你定要叫我嗎，你這不安靜的人？

那就讓愛的愁眼，徒然地因著盼望而流淚。

讓燈盞在空屋里點著。

讓渡船載那些困乏的工人回家。

我把夢想丟下，來奔赴你的召喚。
