Water Lilies
Water Liliesby Sara Teasdale
If you have forgotten water lilies floating
On a dark lake among mountains in the afternoon shade,
If you have forgotten their wet, sleepy fragrance,
Then you can return and not be afraid.
But if you remember, then turn away forever
To the plains and the prairies where pools are far apart,
There you will not come at dusk on closing water lilies,
And the shadow of mountains will not fall on your heart.
睡莲
文/莎拉·蒂斯黛尔译/齐云
如果你已经忘记午后的阴影下边
山间幽暗的湖面飘浮的朵朵睡莲
已经忘记了睡莲的香雾催人欲眠
那么你就无需忧惧尽管安心归返
但你若没有忘怀就请你离开永远
去那些池塘零落稀疏的平原草原
那里你不会看见薄暮合拢的睡莲
山峦阴影也不会投落到你的心间
