花之歌 Song of the flower

作者 / 卡里·纪伯伦

I am a kind word uttered and repeated

我是一句轻柔的话语

By the voice of Nature

被大自然来回往复地细述

I am a star fallen from the

我是一颗星

Blue tent upon the green carpet

从蓝色苍穹坠入绿毯之中

I am the daughter of the elements

我是万物的女儿

With whom Winter conceived

冬天将我孕育

To whom Spring gave birth;I was

春天使我绽放

Reared in the lap of Summer and I

夏天让我成长

Slept in the bed of Autumn

秋天令我安睡

At dawn I unite with the breeze

拂晓时，我同轻风一道

To announce the coming of light

宣告曙光的到来

At eventide I join the birds

日暮时，我又与群鸟一起

In bidding the light farewell

为它的远去告别

The plains are decorated with

我在原野上摇曳，使风光更加旖旎

My beautiful colors, and the air

我在清风中呼吸

Is scented with my fragrance

使气息芬芳馥郁

As I embrace Slumber the eyes of

我微睡时

Night watch over me, and as I

夜空中数对双眼凝望着我

Awaken I stare at the sun, which is

醒来时

The only eye of the day

我注视着白昼的独眸

I drink dew for wine, and hearken to

我饮着朝露酿成的琼浆

The voices of the birds, and dance

听着小鸟的鸣啭歌唱

To the rhythmic swaying of the grass

就着芳香的摇曳婆娑起舞

I am the lover's gift; I am the wedding wreath

我是爱人的赠礼，我是婚礼的花冠

I am the memory of a moment of happiness

我是片刻欢愉的记忆

I am the last gift of the living to the dead

我是生者予死者最后的献祭

I am a part of joy and a part of sorrow

我半是欣喜，半是哀愁

But I look up high to see only the light

而我仰望高空，只为翘盼日光

And never look down to see my shadow

我从不顾影自怜，也从不孤芳自赏

This is wisdom which man must learn

这智慧，人类还未得以领会
