Your hands lie open in the long fresh grass,

The finger-points look through like rosy blooms:

Your eyes smile peace. The pasture gleams and glooms

'Neath billowing skies that scatter and amass.

All round our nest, far as the eye can pass,

Are golden kingcup-fields with silver edge

Where the cow-parsley skirts the hawthorn-hedge.

'Tis visible silence, still as the hour-glass.

Deep in the sun-searched growths the dragon-fly

Hangs like a blue-thread loosened from the sky;

So this wing'd hour is dropt to us from above.

Oh! Clasp we to our hearts, for deathless dower,

This close-companioned inarticulate hour

When two-fold silence was the song of love.

你的手伸展在鮮嫩的長草里

指尖如玫瑰花一樣透明：

你的眼睛漾著恬靜的微笑。

云海洶涌的長空下，

牧場時(shí)而閃爍，時(shí)而暗淡。

在我們的巢穴周圍，在我們的視野之內(nèi)，

是鑲著銀邊的金黃色的驢蹄草，是峨?yún)h(huán)繞的山毛櫸籬笆。

這可見的沉靜，沙漏一般的沉靜。

陽光追逐的枝苗深處，掛著一只蜻蜓，

像天空撒了手的藍(lán)線；

像這生著翅膀的時(shí)光從我們頭頂降落。

?。⌒馁N心地抱緊我們吧，為了這不朽的饋贈(zèng)，

這親密相伴的沉默時(shí)光,

雙重的沉默就是一首愛情之歌。
