一鳥降而行 A bird came down the walk by Emily Dickinson

一鳥降而行
未曉吾目盯
啄蚯成兩蚓
食之味且腥
 
一露彼飲盡
緣之草青青
退躍牆之屏
怯讓甲蟲徑
 
一瞥目流靈
疾掃全場景
竦懼若珠瑩
吾心暗同省
 
彼探雪絨腦
處危心警曉
吾奉一屑削
彼展羽之妙
 
遨遊返柔鄉
且勝槳分洋
銀光無隙亮
蝶飛午正餉
躍離河之畔
風行遊且暢

A Bird, came down the Walk -
He did not know I saw -
He bit an Angle Worm in halves
And ate the fellow, raw,   
 
And then, he drank a Dew
From a convenient Grass -
And then hopped sidewise to the Wall
To let a Beetle pass -  
 
He glanced with rapid eyes,
That hurried all abroad -
They looked like frightened Beads, I thought,
He stirred his Velvet Head. -   
 
Like one in danger, Cautious,
I offered him a Crumb,
And he unrolled his feathers,
And rowed him softer Home -
 
Than Oars divide the Ocean,
Too silver for a seam,
Or Butterflies, off Banks of Noon,
Leap, plashless as they swim.
