大地殷勤好客

91

大地殷勤好客，

却要绿草买单。

The great earth makes herself hospitable with the help of the grass.

92

树叶的生死轮回是一个急速的漩涡，

那漩涡广袤的外缘是那斗转的星空。

The birth and death of the leaves are the rapid whirls of the eddywhose wider circles move slowly among stars.

93

强权对世界说：“你是我的。”

世界就把它囚禁在宝座之下。

博爱对世界说：“我是你的。”

世界就给它畅行宫廷的自由。

Power said to the world, “You are mine.“The world kept it prisoner on her throne.Love said to the world, “I am thine.“The world gave it the freedom of her house.

94

大地的欲望化为浓雾，

把她千呼万唤的太阳隐藏。

The mist is like the earth’s desire.It hides the sun for whom she cries.

95

静默吧，我的心，

这些大树都是祈祷者。

Be still, my heart, these great trees are prayers.

96

永恒的乐调，

往往被瞬间的喧嚣嘲笑。

The noise of the moment scoffs at the music of the Eternal.

97

我想起那些被遗忘的时代，

漂浮在生死爱恨的川流上，

我感到了远离尘世的自由。

I think of other ages that floated upon the stream of life and loveand death and are forgotten, and I feel the freedom of passing away.

98

我灵魂里的忧郁是她新婚的面纱。

这面纱等待着夜晚来临被人揭去。

The sadness of my soul is her bride’s veil.It waits to be lifted in the night.

99

死亡的印记赋予生命的钱币以价值；

使它能够倾其一生购买真正的宝物。

Death’s stamp gives value to the coin of life; making it possibleto buy with life what is truly precious.

100

白云谦虚地立在天边，

黎明用霞光给它加冕。

The cloud stood humbly in a corner of the sky.The morning crowned it with splendour.
