在一起睡
[英]曼斯菲爾德
在一起睡，你倦得成個什麼樣子 !
我們的屋子多麼暖和，看這燈光散落在板壁上，頂板上和大白床上!
我們像孩子似的低著聲音說話，
一會兒是你，又一會兒是我，
睡了一晌又醒過來說——
親愛的，我一點也不覺困，
不是你就是我說。
有一千年了吧?
我在你的懷抱中醒來——你睡得著著的——
我聽得綿羊在走路的蹄聲，
輕輕的我溜下了地，爬著走到
掛著簾子的窗口，
你還睡你的覺，
我望著一群羊在雪地裏過去。
Sleeping Together
Katherine Mansfield
Sleeping together how tired you were How warm our room how the fireHght spread On walls and ceiling and great white bed !
We spoke in whispers as children do, And now it was 1 — and then it was you Slept a moment, to wake — " My dear, I''m not at all sleepy," one of us said Was it a thousand years ago ?
I woke in your arms — you were sound asleep — And heard the pattering sound of sheep.
Softly I slipped to the floor and crept To the curtained w''indow, then, while you slept, I watched the sheep pass by in the snow.
一群的思想，跟著他們的牧人“恐懼”
顫抖著，在寒夜裏淒涼的走著道，
它們走進了我的心窩如同羊進了圈!
一千年還不是昨天嗎
我們倆，遠遠的兩個孩子
在黑暗中站得緊緊的，
躺在一起睡?
你倦得成個什麼樣子!
O flock of thoughts with their shepherd Fear Shivering, desolate, out in the cold.
That entered into my heart to fold !
A thousand years was it yesterday Whewo children of far away, ging clo in the darkness, lay Sleeping together ?
