We talked as Girls do --

我们像女孩样谈论着--
喜欢的，最近的--
我们推测着美丽，思索着主题，除了坟墓--
我们的坟墓，没有涉及--
而我们是清除机--
冷静地，处理着命运
为上帝，我们的权威
操持一场安静的聚会
而我们终于最沉溺于
我们自己冥想
当女孩变成了女人，轻轻地升起
我们--占据了--地平线--
我们因契约分开
要珍爱，要记录
可在另一个夜晚之前
上帝让两者，都不可能。
We talked as Girls do --
Fond, and late --
We speculated fair, on every subject, but the Grave --
Of ours, none affair --
We handled Destinies, as cool --
As we -- Disposers -- be --
And God, a Quiet Party
To our Authority --
But fondest, dwelt upon Ourself
As we eventual -- be --
When Girls to Women, softly raised
We -- occupy -- Degree --
We parted with a contract
To cherish, and to write
But Heaven made both, impossible
Before another night.
