未归 （英诗汉译）

Unreturning

未归


EMILY DICKINSON
(美) 艾米丽。迪金森诗选



‘T was such a little, little boat,
That toddled down the bay !
‘T was such a gallant, gallant sea
That beckoned it away !

‘T was such a greedy, greedy wave
That licked it from the coast;
Nor ever guessed the stately sails
My little craft was lost !


一只小巧小巧的船，
缓缓漂浮海湾；
一片汹涌汹涌的海，
已把小船冲远。

一片贪婪贪婪的浪，
拍打小船离岸；
从未想到航海壮举，
小船失踪不见！
