Listening

聆听

作者 劳伦斯

I listen to the stillness of you,

My dear, among it all;

I feel your silence touch my words as I talk,

And take them in thrall.

亲爱的，所有的声音当中，

我聆听你的寂静。

每当开口我感觉你的静默，

轻触我的话语，稳驾驭。

My words fly off a forge

The length of a spark;

I see the night-sky easily sip them

Up in the dark.

我的话语飞出锻炉，

如火花飞溅的长度。

我看见夜空隐在暗夜，

轻松啜饮我话语。

The lark sings loud and glad,

Yet I am not loth

That silence should take the song and the bird

And lose them both.

云雀开心高声唱，

然而我愿意，

寂静捎上鸟儿啼鸣，

二者皆失却。

A train goes roaring south,

The steam-flag flying;

I see the stealthy shadow of silence

Alongside going.

火车咆哮去南方，

蒸汽若旗舞飞扬。

我看见寂静魅影，

一路追随而去。

And off the forge of the world,

Whirling in the draught of life,

Go sparks of myriad people, filling

The night with strife.

飞出世界的炉膛，

旋转在生命的涡流，

无数人的花火，

奋勇去把暗夜充填。

Yet they never change the darkness

Or blench it with noise;

Alone on the perfect silence

The stars are buoys.

然他们未曾改变黑暗，

或因噪音使其退却。

万籁俱寂中，

唯余星星若浮标。
