思绪之束

《思绪之束》——[美]卡尔·桑德堡

我想起了海滩，田野，
眼泪，笑声。

我想起建造的家——
又被风刮走。

我想起聚会，
但每一次聚会都是告别。

我想起在孤单中运行着的星星，
黄鹂成双成对，落日慌乱地，
在愁闷中消隐。

我想要越过茫茫宇宙，
到下一个星球去，到最后一个星球去。

我要留下几滴眼泪，
和一些笑声。


Bundles

——Carl Sandburg

I have thought of beaches, fields,

tears, laughter.

I have thought of homes put up-

And blown away.

I have thought of meetings and for

Every meeting a good-by.

I have thought of stars going alone,

Orioles in pairs, sunsets in blundering

Wistful deaths.

I have wanted to let go and cross over

to a next star, a last star.

I have asked to be left a few tears

And some laughter.
