我當(dāng)然祈禱過——
可上帝在乎嗎?
在他眼中這不過是
空中的鳥,跺了跺腳——
大喊著“給我”——
生存的理由——
我不曾有過,若不是因為你——
將我留在原子的墳?zāi)估铩?/p>
快樂,虛無,歡愉,麻木——
比起這錐心的痛苦
已是一種仁慈。
Of Course—I prayed—
And did God Care?
He cared as much as on the Air
A Bird—had stamped her foot—
And cried “Give Me”—
My Reason—Life—
I had not had—but for Yourself—
’Twere better Charity
To leave me in the Atom’s Tomb—
Merry, and Nought, and gay, and numb—
Than this smart Misery.
