一条蛇,盘绕着
迷惑这颗心。
一日复一日,
一只鸽子在白色窗台上
咕咕叫。
白霜中一道明亮的闪光,
催眠的,夜里散发着幽香的紫罗兰...
然而,确定的秘密,
远非平静和喜悦。
它明知如何甜蜜地流泪
在小提琴渴求的祈祷中;
是胆怯地窥测到
一个陌生人的微笑吗?
A snake, it coils
Bewitching the heart.
Day after day, coos
A dove on the white sill.
A bright flash in frost,
Drowsy night-scented stock…
Yet, sure and secret,
It’s far from peace and joy.
It knows how to weep sweetly
In the violin’s yearning prayer;
And is fearfully divined
In a stranger’s smile.
