另有一片天空

丁倩

艾米莉 狄金森 （美）

另有一片天空，

从来是宁静而又清澈。

另有一片阳光灿烂，

虽然也会有黑夜茫茫。

不必在意那凋萎的森林，奥斯汀，

不必在意那沉寂的原野——

这里有一片小小的森林，

林中的树叶葱郁常青；

这里有个绚丽无比的花园，

从未遭受冰霜侵袭；

在永久绽放的鲜花丛中，

我听到欢乐的蜜蜂嗡嗡轻吟。

请吧，我的兄弟，

来到我的花园里。

（完）

There is Another Sky

Emily Dickinson

There is another sky,

Ever serene and fair,

And there is another sunshine,

Though it be darkness there;

Never mind faded forests, Austin,

Never mind silent fields—

Here is a little forest,

Whose leaf is ever green;

Here is a brighter garden,

Where not a frost has been;

In its unfading flowers

I hear the bright bee hum:

Prithee, my brother,

Into my garden come!

Dickinson's poetic compositions delve into emotional and psychological realms, exploring themes of loneliness, pain, happiness, and death, often personifying these concepts. Her verses also contemplate matters of religion, morality, and philosophical qualities, showcasing a profound engagement with the human experience. Emily Dickinson's poetic contributions have left an enduring impact on American literature.

It is suggested that Emily Dickinson sent the poem, accompanied by a letter, to her brother Austin, who was residing away from home during that period, possibly experiencing some sorrow. The poem appears to have been crafted to provide solace and uplift his spirits by illuminating a more optimistic facet of life.

The theme of the poem presents two worlds, one is the real world, and the other one is an imaginative place.
