琥珀的荚壳上
Amber husk
有金色的笛槽
fluted with gold,
沙滩上的果子
fruit on the sand
一粒耀目的沙子
marked with a rich grain,
宝藏
treasure
倒在松木丛边
spilled near the shrub-pines
在大岩石上泛白:
to bleach on the boulders:
在湿水的卵石之间
your stalk has caught root
在大海上的漂浮物之间
among wet pebbles
在碾碎的贝壳之间
and drift flung by the sea
在崩裂的海螺壳之间
and grated shells
你的花茎抓到了根
and split conch-shells.
美丽,舒张
Beautiful, wide-spread,
叶子上的火焰
fire upon leaf,
怎样的草甸才能长出
what meadow yields
一片如此芳香的叶子
so fragrant a leaf
明亮如你?
as your bright leaf?
