我聽見有些東西在我心的憂悶后面蕭蕭作響，－－我不能看見它們。

---I cannot see them.

綠葉戀愛時便成了花。
花崇拜時便成了果實。
The leaf becomes flower when it loves.
The flower becomes fruit when it worships.

我看著搖曳的樹枝，想念萬物的偉大。
This rainy evening the wind is restless.
I look at the swaying branches and ponder over the greatness of
all things.

子夜的風雨，如一個巨大的孩子，在不合時宜的黑夜里醒來，開始游喜和
喧鬧。

海呀，你這暴風雨的孤寂的新婦呀，你雖掀起波浪追隨你的情人，但是無
用呀。
Thou raisest thy waves vainly to follow thy lover, O sea, thou
lonely bride of the storm.

文字對工作說道：“我慚愧我的空虛。”
工作對文字說道：“當我看見你的時，我便知道我是怎樣地貧乏了。”

I know how poor I am when I see you, said the Work to the Word.
１３９
時間是變化的財富。時鐘模仿它，卻只有變化而無財富。
Time is the wealth of change, but the clock in its parody makes
it mere change and no wealth.
１４０
真理穿了衣裳，覺得事實太拘束了。
在想象中，她卻轉(zhuǎn)動得很舒暢。
Truth in her dress finds facts too tight.
In fiction she moves with ease.

當我到這里那里旅行著時，路呀，我厭倦你了；當是現(xiàn)在，當你引導我到
各處去時我便愛上你，與你結婚了。
When I travelled to here and to there, I was tired of thee, O Road,
but now when thou leadest me to everywhere I am wedded to thee in love.

through the dark unknown.

婦人，你用了你美麗的手指，觸著我的什物，秩序便如音樂似的生出來了。
Woman, with the grace of your fingers you touched my things and order
came out like music.

一個憂郁的聲音，筑巢于逝水似的年華中?！ ?br> 它在夜里向我唱道：“我愛你。”
One sad voice has its nest among the ruins of the years.
It sings to me in the night, ---I loved you.

燃著的火，以它熊熊的光焰警告我不要走近它。
把我從潛藏在灰中的余燼里救出來吧。

我有群星在天上，
但是，唉，我屋里的小燈卻沒有點亮。

The world has opened its heart of light in the morning.
Come out, my heart, with thy love to meet it.

我的思想隨著這些閃耀的綠葉而閃耀；我的心靈因了這日光的撫觸而歌唱；
我的生命因為偕了萬物一同浮泛在空間的蔚藍，時間的墨黑而感到歡快*
My thoughts shimmer with these shimmering leaves and my heart sings
with the touch of this sunlight; my life is glad to be floating with
all things into the blue of space, into the dark of time.
１５１
神的巨大的威權是在柔和的微（風思）里，而不在狂風暴雨之中。
God's great power is in the gentle breeze, not in the storm.
１５２
在夢中，一切事都散漫著，都壓著我，但這不過是一個夢呀。但我醒來時，
我便將覺得這些事都已聚集在你那里，我也便將自由了。
This is a dream in which things are all loose and they oppress.
I shall find them gathered in thee when I awake and shall be free.
１５３
落日問道：“有誰繼續(xù)我的職務呢？”

沉默蘊蓄著語聲，正如鳥巢擁圍著睡鳥。
Silence will carry your voice like the nest that holds the sleeping birds.

壓迫著我的，到底是我的想要外出的靈魂呢，還是那世界的靈魂，敲著我
心的門，想要進來呢？
That which oppresses me, is it my soul trying to come out in the open,
or the soul of the world knocking at my heart for its entrance?

只剩下極少極少的水供我回家使用了。

Very little remains for my home.

小理可以用文字來說清楚，大理卻只有沉末。
The water in a vessel is sparkling; the water in the sea is dark.
The small truth has words that are clear; the great truth has great
silence.
１７７
你的微笑是你自己田園里的花，你的談吐是你自己山上的松林的蕭蕭；但
是你的心呀，卻是那個女人，那個我們?nèi)颊J識的女人。

In the evening it ripens into a golden fruit of memory.
１８２
我象那夜間之路，正靜悄悄地諦聽著記憶的足音。
I am like the road in the night listening to the footfalls of its
memories in silence.
１８３
黃昏的天空，在我看來，象一扇窗戶，一盞燈火，燈火背后的一次等待。

and a waiting behind it.

Let the world find its way to you.

Woman, in your laughter you have the music of the fountain of life.
