Your hands lieopen 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裏
指尖如玫瑰花一樣透明：
你的眼睛漾着恬靜的微笑。
雲海洶涌的'長空下，
牧場時而閃爍，時而暗淡。
在我們的巢穴周圍，在我們的視野之內，
是鑲着銀邊的金黃色的驢蹄草，是峨參環繞的山毛櫸籬笆。
這可見的沉靜，沙漏一般的沉靜。
陽光追逐的枝苗深處，掛着一隻蜻蜓，
像天空撒了手的藍線；
像這生着翅膀的時光從我們頭頂降落。
啊！心貼心地抱緊我們吧，爲了這不朽的饋贈，
這親密相伴的沉默時光,
雙重的沉默就是一首愛情之歌。
