       绿草求她地上的伴侣。                                              
       树木求他天空的寂寞。                                              
      The grass seeks her crowd in the earth.

       人对他自己建筑起堤防来。                                          
      Man barricades against himself.
                             ８０                                        
       我的朋友，你的语声飘荡在我的心里，象那海水的低吟声绕缭
在静听着的松林之间。                                                    
      Your voice, my friend, wanders in my heart, like the muffled sound


   of the sea among these listening pines.
                             ８１                                        
       这个不可见的黑暗之火焰，以繁星为其火花的，到底是什么呢？          
      What is this unseen flame of darkness whose sparks are the stars?
                             ８２                                        
       使生如夏花之绚烂，死如秋叶之静美。

How far are you from me, O Fruit?

       权势对世界说道：“你是我的。”                                    
       世界便把权势囚禁在她的宝座下面。                                  
       爱情对世界说道：“我是你的。”                                    
       世界便给予爱情以在它屋内来往的自由。                              
      Power said to the world, "You are mine."
      The world kept it prisoner on her throne.
      Love said to the world, "I am thine."
      The world gave it the freedom of her house.

       安静些吧，我的心，这些大树都是祈祷者呀。                           
     be still, my heart, these great trees are prayers.
                             ９６                                         
       瞬刻的喧声，讥笑着永恒的音乐。                                     
     the noise of the moment scoffs at the music of the eternal.
                             ９７                                         
       我想起了浮泛在生与爱与死的川流上的许多别的时代，以及这些时代之被遗忘，我便感觉到离开尘世的自由了。                                         


     i think of other ages that floated upon the stream of life and love
     and death and are forgotten, and i feel the freedom of passing away.
                             ９８

       只管走过去，不必逗留着采了花朵来保存，因为一路上花朵自会继续开放的。
     do not linger to gather flowers to keep them, but walk on,
     for flowers will keep themselves blooming all your way.
                             １０３                                       
       根是地下的枝。                                                     
       枝是空中的根。                                                     
     roots are the branches down in the earth.
     branches are roots in the air.
                             １０４

       山峰如群儿之喧嚷，举起他们的双臂，想去捉天上的星星。               
     the hills are like shouts of children who raise their arms, trying
     to catch stars.
                             １１４                                       
       道路虽然拥挤，却是寂寞的，因为它是不被爱的。                       
     the road is lonely in its crowd for it is not loved.
                             １１５                                       
       权势以它的恶行自夸，落下的黄叶与浮游的云片却在笑它。               
     the power that boasts of its mischiefs is laughed at by the yellow
     leaves that fall, and clouds that pass by.
                             １１６                                       
       今天大地在太阳光里向我营营哼鸣，象一个织着布的妇人，用一种已经被忘却的语言，哼着一些古代的歌曲。                                           
     the earth hums to me today in the sun, like a woman at her spinning,


     some ballad of the ancient time in a forgotten tongue.

       绿草是无愧于它所生长的伟大世界的。                                 
     the grass-blade is worthy of the great world where it grows.
                             １１８                                       
       梦是一个一定要谈话的妻子。                                         
       睡眠是一个默默忍受的丈夫。

     sleep is a husband who silently suffers.
                             １１９                                       
       夜与逝去的日子接吻，轻轻地在他耳旁说道：“我是死，是你的母亲。我就要给你以新的生命。
