桑塔亞納
冬風掃葉時節,一樹蕭條如洗,
綠裝已卸,卸在我心裡。
我生命的一部分,已消亡
隨著你。
教堂、爐邊、郊路和港灣,
情味都今非昔比。
雖有餘情,也難追尋,
一日之間,我不知老了幾許?
你天性的善良、慈愛和輕快,
曾屬於我,跟我一起。
我不知道哪一部分多——
是你帶走的我,
還是我留下的你。
---
With you a part of me hath passed away;
For in the peopled forest of my mind ,
A tree made leafless by this wintry wind ,
Shall never don again its green array.
Chapel and fireside,country road and bay,
Have something of their friendliness resigned;
Another,if I would, I could not find ,
And I am grown much older in a day.
But yet I trdasure in my memory,
Your gift of charity and young heart's ease,
And the dear honour of your amity;
For these once mine, my life is rich with these.
And I scarce know which part may greater be --
What I keep of you , or you rob from me.
