An Eastern Ballad 七律·东方谣
I speak of love that comes to mind:
诉说情灵关爱意,
The moon is faithful, although blind;
遥望明月作皈依,
She moves in thought she cannot speak.
神思语噎偏盲后,
Perfect care has made her bleak.
完璧镜圆无欲时。
I never dreamed the sea so deep,
深海未曾逰梦境,
The earth so dark; so long my sleep,
浊寰却已误晨曦。
I have become another child
轮回蝶化他家子,
I wake to see the world go wild.
醒看世风狂野吹。
傅正明譯
金斯堡这首格律诗写于二十世纪四十年代末,采用抑扬四音步格(iambic tetrameter),尾韵韵式为aabb ccaa,与诗人後来的《嚎叫》风格截然不同。
