〈哦,別愛得太久〉

心肝喲,別愛得太久:
我久久地愛過,
可結果華年流逝,
像首過時的歌。

在整個青春歲月裡,
我們都分不清
彼此糾纏的思緒;
二人像一條心。

可是哦,她一下變了——
別愛得太久喲,
不然你華年流逝,
像首過時的歌。

Do Not Love Too Long

SWEETHEART, do not love too long:
I loved long and long,
And grew to be out of fashion
Like an old song.
All through the years of our youth
Neither could have known
Their own thought from the others,
We were so much at one.
But O, in a minute she changed —
O do not love too long,
Or you will grow out of fashion
Like an old song.

〈文字〉

不久前我曾經這樣想:
我愛人怕不能理解
這盲目苦難的土地上
我做過或要做什麼。

對太陽我漸生厭倦心
到思緒重新變清晰,
憶想起最優良的行徑
是曾經誠實地坦白;

我每年都大喊:到頭來
我愛人會理解一切,
因為我已攢足了力氣,
文字也聽從我驅策

假如她理解了誰能說
篩子中會漏下什麼?
我也許把破文字拋卻,
心滿意足地去生活。

Words

I HAD this thought a while ago,
"My darling cannot understand
What I have done, or what would do
In this blind bitter land.
And I grew weary of the sun
Until my thoughts cleared up again,
Remembering that the best I have done
Was done to make it plain;
That every year I have cried, "At length
My darling understands it all,
Because I have come into my strength,
And words obey my call;
That had she done so who can say
What would have shaken from the sieve?
I might have thrown poor words away
And been content to live.

〈智慧與時俱來〉

葉子雖繁多,根莖只一條;
在青年時代說謊的日子,
我把花葉在陽光裡招搖;
如今,我可以凋萎成真理。

The Coming Of Wisdom With Time

THOUGH leaves are many, the root is one;
Through all the lying days of my youth
I swayed my leaves and flowers in the sun;
Now I may wither into the truth.

〈一首歌〉

我以為無需許多,
若要延長青春;
只需啞鈴和鈍劍
即可保身體年輕。
呵,誰又能預告
心會漸漸變老?

儘管我能說會道,
何等女人又自信
只因在她身邊,
我就不再眩暈?
呵,誰又能預告
心會漸漸變老?

除了曾擁有的心,
我並未喪失情慾;
我以爲它會焚毀
臥床等死的身軀,
因為誰又能預告
心會漸漸變老?

A Song

I THOUGHT no more was needed
Youth to polong
Than dumb-bell and foil
To keep the body young.
O who could have foretold
That the heart grows old?

Though I have many words,
What womans satisfied,
I am no longer faint
Because at her side?
O who could have foretold
That the heart grows old?

I have not lost desire
But the heart that I had;
I thOught twould burn my body
Laid on the death-bed,
For who could have foretold
That the heart grows old?
