黑夜中內心的鳥叫

混世鳥學

夜鳥孤鳴，辨無名

出有水泉，過石漫野

入定，桶中天益靜

歲月轉，物華休，紅顏逝

立遠境，終識夜靜

鳥鳴幽，駐心久，餘事空

 

Ornithology in a World of Flux.

It was only a bird call at evening, unidentified,

As I came from the spring with water, across the rocky back-pasture;

But so still I stood sky above was not stiller than sky in pail-water.

Years pass, all places and faces fade, some people have died,

And I stand in a far land, the evening still, and am at last sure

That I miss more that stillness at bird-call than some things

that were to fail later.
