琥珀似的壳

Amber husk

刻画着黄金的凹槽，

fluted with gold,

沙上的果实，

fruit on the sand

一颗饱满的稻谷，

marked with a rich grain,

珍宝

treasure

从灌木丛与松树周围溢出，

spilled near the shrub-pines

漂白了石头：

to bleach on the boulders:

你的根茎，

your stalk has caught root

在湿润的鹅卵石之间，

among wet pebbles

被海水

and drift flung by the sea

和水中破裂的

and grated shells

空空的贝壳冲刷。

and split conch-shells.

美丽的，茂盛的，

Beautiful, wide-spread,

火焰似的叶子，

fire upon leaf,

何处的草地

what meadow yields

能生长如你这般明亮的叶子，

so fragrant a leaf

这般芬芳的叶子？

as your bright leaf?
