《谜语》 by 威尔伯

谜语   林木译

 

放在密林深处，

我被石头环绕，

不去寻找忧郁的树阴，

不想埋葬的骨尸；

因为我没有身体，且明亮，

让林中空地骤然闪耀；

树叶被底光洗涤；

树阴如雪覆盖树枝。

 

 

Riddle 

Richard Wilbur

 

Where far in forest I am laid,

In a place ringed around by stones,

Look for no melancholy shade,

And have no thoughts of buried bones;

For I am bodiless and bright,

And fill this glade with sudden glow;

The leaves are washed in under-light;

Shade lies upon the boughs like snow.
