Amber husk

琥珀似的壳

fluted with gold,

刻画着黄金的凹槽，

fruit on the sand

沙上的果实，

marked with a rich grain,

一颗饱满的稻谷，

treasure

珍宝

spilled near the shrub-pines

从灌木丛与松树周围溢出，

to bleach on the boulders:

漂白了石头：

your stalk has caught root

你的根茎，

among wet pebbles

在湿润的鹅卵石之间，

and drift flung by the sea

被海水

and grated shells

和水中破裂的

and split conch-shells.

空空的贝壳冲刷。

Beautiful, wide-spread,

美丽的，茂盛的，

fire upon leaf,

火焰似的叶子，

what meadow yields

何处的草地

so fragrant a leaf

能生长如你这般明亮的叶子，

as your bright leaf?

这般芬芳的叶子？
