Impressions

I

Les Silhouettes

The sea is flecked with bars of grey,

The dull dead wind is out of tune,

And like a withered leaf the moon

Is blown across the stormy bay.



Etched clear upon the pallid sand

Lies the black boat: a sailor boy

Clambers aboard in careless joy

With laughing face and gleaming hand.



And overhead the curlews cry,

Where through the dusky upland grass

The young brown-throated reapers pass,

Like silhouettes against the sky.



II

La Fuite de la Lune

To outer senses there is peace,

A dreamy peace on either hand,

Deep silence in the shadowy land,

Deep silence where the shadows cease.



Save for a cry that echoes shrill

From some lone bird disconsolate;

A corncrake calling to its mate;

The answer from the misty hill.



And suddenly the moon withdraws

Her sickle from the lightening skies,

And to her sombre cavern flies,

Wrapped in a veil of yellow gauze.

印　象

I

剪影

灰色的線條點綴著大海，

死沉沉的風(fēng)不成調(diào)地胡吹，

月亮像一片樹葉已枯萎，

被吹過了風(fēng)暴大作的海灣。



一只黑色的小船蝕刻

在蒼白沙灘上：少年水手

興高采烈地爬上船，

滿面含笑，手背亮晶晶。



麻鷸在頭頂上空尖叫，

一個年輕的棕膚刈割者

穿越茂密的高地草叢，

仿佛映襯天空的一幅剪影。



II

月之逃逸

外部感覺上一片安寧，

每只手棲息著夢的靜謐，

陰影籠罩的地方萬籟俱寂，

陰影止步的地方也闃然無聲。



一只孤獨而憂郁的鳥

尖叫一聲，引發(fā)了回響；

一只秧雞在呼喚它的同伴；

回應(yīng)來自霧蒙蒙的山岡。



突然，在璀璨的天空

月亮藏起她的鐮刀，

裹著淡黃色的薄紗，

一直飛向她幽暗的洞孔。
