狄金森雙語詩歌:我去向她致謝

我去向她致謝

我去向她致謝——

但她已睡去——

她的床，一塊狹窄的石頭——

頭與腳放滿——

訪客們攜來的花——

誰去向她致謝——

但她已睡去——

漂洋過海，將她探望——

仿佛她尚在人世，這過程雖短——

但歸途，卻很漫長——

I went to thank Her

I went to thank Her—

But She Slept—

Her Bed—a funneled Stone—

With Nosegays at the Head and Foot—

That Travellers—had thrown—

Who went to thank Her—

But She Slept—

’Twas Short—to cross the Sea—

To look upon Her like—alive—

But turning back—’twas slow—
