我在早晨的沙礫上勞作。

I labor on the morning sand.

黃顏色的鳥兒在清涼的枝上把你召喚。

From a cool green branch the yellow bird summons you.

大地敞開了：我看見天空，堤岸，和尖銳的冬天。

The landscape opens: sky, shore, the sharp taste of winter.

但是在彼和此之間，有的是海浪和帆船。

但願有一座城市能夠舍棄聲名，

Between here and there, waves and sailboats.

將愛的榮耀留在教堂的尖頂；

A city may surrender reputation,

但願有一部作品發現你是誰；

hang love’s glories on the steeple;

但願有一隻黃顏色的鳥兒在那兒，把你召喚。

may your work discover who you are,

may a yellow bird be there to summon you.
