TRUCE停战

TRUCE

By Sara Tealsdale

Take heart, for now the battle is half over,         
  We have not shamed our sires;                        
    Pride, the lone pennon, revelled by the storm-wind
  Stands in the sunset fires.                          

It may be, with the coming-on of evening            
  We shall be granted unassailed repose,               
    And what is left of dusk will be less darkness   
  Than luminous air, on which the crescent glows.     

停战

文/莎拉•蒂斯黛尔  译/齐云

振作，战争才打了一半
      我们并没有羞辱祖先
长长战旗风暴中腾翻
      傲然矗立于落日光焰

也许，有了这夜色作陪
      我们能够安心地入睡  
日暮之余，天不会全黑
      犹胜一弯新月的光辉
