未歸 （英詩漢譯）

Unreturning

未歸


EMILY DICKINSON
(美) 艾米麗。迪金森詩選



‘T was such a little, little boat,
That toddled down the bay !
‘T was such a gallant, gallant sea
That beckoned it away !

‘T was such a greedy, greedy wave
That licked it from the coast;
Nor ever guessed the stately sails
My little craft was lost !


一隻小巧小巧的船，
緩緩漂浮海灣；
一片洶湧洶湧的海，
已把小船衝遠。

一片貪婪貪婪的浪，
拍打小船離岸；
從未想到航海壯舉，
小船失蹤不見！
