我今天要给出的不过是零

Nought that I would give today

与一半的

Would half compare

那珍藏已久的财宝的相比——

With the long-treasured riches that somewhere

它们被贮存在心底的某个地方。

In the deep heart are stored.

云和月和雾和那整座宝窟的

Cloud and the moon and mist and the whole

脆弱的、冒着白泡的星辰，

Hoard of frail, white-bubbling stars,

和那清凉的祝福，

And the cool blessing,

像蛾或风的轻抚，

Like moth or wind caressing,

那些美丽、新鲜、浸着雨水的花朵；

Of the fair, fresh rain-dipped flowers;

还有海的所有魔力，还有

And all the spells of the sea, and the new green

苔藓、羊齿草和欧洲蕨的新绿

Of moss and fern and bracken

在它们的青春遭袭之前；

Before their youth is stricken;

那些树木黄昏时的思绪，

The thoughts of the trees at eventide, the hush

清晨昏暗的玉米地里的寂静，

In the dark corn at morning,

还有那个愿望

And the wish

在你自己的心里，才刚破晓——

In your own heart still but dawning —

所有这些，

All of these,

一个柔软的重在你的手上，

A soft weight on your hands,

此刻我愿意给予；

I would give now;

而最后是已变得干净的我自己，

And lastly myself made clean

洁白如浪花冲洗过的沙滩，

And white as the wave-washed sand,

如果我知道怎么做到的话。

If I knew how.
