平靜

平靜

平靜是無聲的早上，
以適應悲傷更靜謐，
隻透過褪色的葉子
栗子掉在地上作響：

高地上靜深的和平
浸濕荊豆的露珠上，
還有遊絲銀色閃亮
翠綠金黃閃爍不停：

大平原明亮而靜寂
掠過那秋天的涼亭，
塔樓漸小農場擠擁，
與廣闊的天空一體：

太空平和靜而深長，
葉兒秋天就會變紅；
如果心裏還能平靜，
如有平靜，就是絕望：

海麵平靜，銀之睡眠，
還有靜時搖曳波浪，
高貴胸中平靜死樣
起伏在起伏的深淵。

Calm is the morn 

Calm is the morn without a sound，
Calm as to suit a calmer grief，
And only thro' the faded leaf
The chestnut pattering to the ground:

Calm and deep peace on this high wold
And on these dews that drench the furze，
And all the silvery gossamers
That twinkle into green and gold:

Calm and still light on yon great plain
That sweeps with all its autumn bowers，
And crowded farms and lessening towers，
To mingle with the bounding main:

Calm and deep peace in this wide air，
These leaves that redden to the fall;
And in my heart，if calm at all，
If any calm，a calm despair:

Calm on the seas，and silver sleep，
And waves that sway themselves in rest，
And dead calm in that noble breast
Which heaves but in the heaving deep.
