我走到了榛樹林邊

 

我走到了榛樹林邊

                       葉紫

 

我走到了榛樹林邊，

因為我的腦中有火，

剪下並剝下榛子棒，

掛在線上的是漿果；

當白色飛蛾飛舞時，

飛蛾般的星星閃爍，

把漿果丟在溪流裏

釣到小銀鱒活潑。

 

我把它放在地板上

我去把火吹得更旺，

有物地板上熙攘，

有人把我的名叫響：

變成了女孩閃閃發光

蘋果花插在發中

叫我的名字後跑了

消失在明亮的天空。

 

穿過那曠野和丘陵

雖然隨著流浪老去，

會將她的去處查明，

親吻她，將她手握住；

走在長長斑駁草叢，

不斷采擷直到完成

那月亮的銀蘋果，

金蘋果太陽之靈。

 

I went out to the hazel wood

               William Yeats

I went out to the hazel wood,

Because a fire was in my head,

And cut and peeled a hazel wand,

And hooked a berry to a thread;

And when white moths were on the wing,

And moth-like stars were flickering out,

I dropped the berry in a stream

And caught a little silver trout.

 

When I had laid it on the floor

I went to blow the fire aflame,

But something rustled on the floor,

And some one called me by my name:

It had become a glimmering girl

With apple blossom in her hair

Who called me by my name and ran

And faded through the brightening air.

 

Though I am old with wandering

Through hollow lands and hilly lands,

I will find out where she has gone,

And kiss her lips and take her hands;

And walk among long dappled grass,

And pluck till time and times are done

The silver apples of the moon,

The golden apples of the sun.
