豐塔納的海灘上

豐塔納的海灘上

 

風狂吹響沙礫，

瘋狂呻吟木樁；

蒼海細數每一

銀石閃光。

 

呼嘯的風和寒氣

灰海將他裹嚴

撫摸著他顫抖的嫩臂

骨感的肩。

 

周圍恐懼，從上麵

恐懼黑暗下降

並且我的心深如寒潭

愛之傷！

 

On the beach at Fontana

 

Wind whines and whines the shingle,

The crazy pierstakes groan;

A senile sea numbers each single

Slimesilvered stone.

 

From whining wind and colder

Grey sea I wrap him warm

And touch his trembling fineboned shoulder

And boyish arm.

 

Around us fear, descending

Darkness of fear above

And in my heart how deep unending

Ache of love!
