我生命中最好的部分已安眠,
我又为何要睁开眼?
黎明到来,带着前所未有的殷勤,
却不能将他们唤醒。
别人苏醒,起身,
走过窗下,拂动窗帘。
如果我睡得太久,甜蜜的黎明,
要记得来敲响我的门。
我看了一眼初升的太阳,
然后转向我爱的人们,
心中浮起一种隐约的盼望,
盼望和他们一样。
他们的世界里永远是黄昏,
无尽的安息日,钟声自顾敲响。
唯有平和宁静,无边无际,
让人忍不住为之叹息。
来吧,只须再选一件长袍,
只须再做一次祷告。
可是,为什么,我仍挣扎。
在此地,在当下。
I had no Cause to be awake –
My Best - was gone to sleep –
And Morn a new politeness took –
And failed to wake them up –
But called the others - clear –
And passed their Curtains by –
Sweet Morning-when I oversleep –
Knock – Recollect - to Me –
I looked at Sunrise – Once –
And then I looked at Them –
And wishfulness in me arose –
For Circumstance the same –
'Twas such an Ample Peace –
It could not hold a Sigh –
'Twas Sabbath - with the Bells divorced –
'Twas Sunset - all the Day –
So choosing but a Gown –
And taking but a Prayer –
The only Raiment I should need –
I struggled - and was There –
