光体张洁 译

LuminaryR. S. 托马斯


我的光体,
My luminary,
我的晨星和晚星。
my morning and evening
我正午的光
star. My light at noon
当没有太阳,
when there is no sun
天空低垂时。我的
and the sky lowers. My balance
喜乐的秤,在一个
of joy in a world
失去喜乐标准的
that has gone off joy's
世界。你的脸
standard. Yours the face
那年轻我承认
that young I recognised
仿佛我曾认识年老的
as though I had known you
你。来吧,我的双眼
of old. Come, my eyes
说,进入这世界的清晨,
said, out into the morning
那里的露珠
of a world whose dew
等待着你的足迹。
waits for your footprint.
在一座绿色的祭坛前
Before a green altar
以画眉为祭司
with the thrush for priest
我许下了那些游丝般的
I took those gossamer
誓言教堂
vows that neither the Church
不能陈旧它机器也不能
could stale nor the Machine
磨损它,随着岁月流逝
tarnish, that with the years
已变得坚如燧石,
have grown hard as flint,
光亮更胜白金
lighter than platinum
在我们没戴戒指的手指上。
on our ringless fingers.
