One Sister have I in our house

老白

One Sister have I in our house -
And one a hedge away
There's only one recorded
But both belong to me

One came the way that I came -
And wore my past year's gown -
The other as a bird her nest
Builded our hearts among

She did not sing as we did -
It was a different tune -
Herself to her a Music
As Bumble-bee of June

Today is far from Childhood -
But up and down the hills
I held her hand the tighter -
Which shortened all the miles -

And still her hum
The years among
Deceives the Butterfly;
Still in her Eye
The Violets lie
Mouldered this many May

I spilt the dew -
But took the morn, -
I chose this single star
From out the wide night's numbers -
Sue - forevermore

一位姐妹在屋子里

一位姐妹在篱笆外

只有一人被记录

可她们俩都属于我



一位来自我来时的路

穿着我去年穿的礼服

另一位如同小鸟筑巢

共建我们心灵的小窝



我们唱歌时她不开口

她用另一种音调歌唱

她就是她自己的歌儿

好像六月的小蜜蜂儿



今天距童年已经遥远
我们只是上山又下山
我紧紧拉着她的手儿
世上的路途不再漫长





她总在吟唱

在岁月之中

蝴蝶总是能

迷惑她的双眼

紫罗兰安眠

令五月不断分裂



我打翻了露珠

却拥有了清晨

我挑选了这唯一的一颗

从广瀚夜空的漫天星斗中

请求——直到永远

这首诗后面我略做了改动，不过中间的那段是借鉴了一个朋友的翻译，水平很高，翻译的略显稚嫩，但这首诗，依然很美
