关于童年友人的离世杜鹏 译

On the Death of Friends in Childhood唐纳德·贾斯蒂斯


我们永远不会在天堂见到他们留胡须的模样,
We shall not ever meet them bearded in heaven,
他们也并没有置身于地狱的秃顶者之中;
Nor sunning themselves among the bald of hell;
如果有一个地方,在暮色中无人的校园,
If anywhere, in the deserted schoolyard at twilight,
他们围成一个圈,可能会手拉手
Forming a ring, perhaps, or joining hands
在我们早已忘记名字的游戏里。
In games whose very names we have forgotten.
来吧,记忆,让我们在阴影中寻找他们。
Come, memory, let us seek them there in the shadows.
