原詩：瑪麗.奧利弗（美國）
漢譯：惠蘭

你不必十全十美
你不必用五體投地的方式
穿過千裏迢迢的沙漠，懺悔
你隻需要讓身體裏柔軟的動物成分
去愛它的所愛
跟我說說絕望吧，我也會告訴你我的
與此同時，世界在繼續
與此同時，太陽和雨裏晶亮的水珠
在風景裏
在草原和叢林深處
在高山與河流之間，移動著
與此同時，大雁就飛上了清澈的藍天
重新回家了
不管你是誰，無論你有多麽孤獨
這個世界本身都給了你想象力
呼喚你如大雁一般，一遍又一遍
尖利而興奮地宣布，你在萬事萬物中的
位置

附英文原文
Wild Geese
You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees
for a hundred miles through the desert, repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body
love what it loves.
Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine.
Meanwhile the world goes on.
Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain
are moving across the landscapes,
over the prairies and the deep trees,
the mountains and the rivers.
Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air,
are heading home again
Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,
the world offers itself to your imagination,
calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting
over and over announcing your place
in the family of things.
