By R.S. Thomas
We live in our own world,
A world that is too small
For you to stoop and enter
Even on hands and knees,
The adult subterfuge.
And though you probe and pry
With analytic eye,
And eavesdrop all our talk
With an amused look,
You cannot find the centre
Where we dance, where we play,
Where life is still asleep
Under the closed flower,
Under the smooth shell
Of eggs in the cupped nest
That mock the faded blue
Of your remoter heaven.”
孩子们的歌
我们住在自己的世界
这个世界太小
你们弯着腰也进不去
即使趴下来爬行
你们也会玩弄心计
可不管怎样偷看
用犀利的目光分析
或者偷听我们的谈话
带上貌似有趣的表情
你们都无法找到世界的中心
在那里，我们跳舞，玩耍
在那里，生命依然沉睡
--在合拢的花朵之下
光滑的蛋壳里
淡蓝色的鸟巢中
那褪色的蔚蓝
是你们久远的天堂 |
