黑夜中内心的鸟叫

混世鸟学

夜鸟孤鸣，辨无名

出有水泉，过石漫野

入定，桶中天益静

岁月转，物华休，红颜逝

立远境，终识夜静

鸟鸣幽，驻心久，余事空

 

Ornithology in a World of Flux.

It was only a bird call at evening, unidentified,

As I came from the spring with water, across the rocky back-pasture;

But so still I stood sky above was not stiller than sky in pail-water.

Years pass, all places and faces fade, some people have died,

And I stand in a far land, the evening still, and am at last sure

That I miss more that stillness at bird-call than some things

that were to fail later.
