Harp and her reflection 英文诗说中文诗情

Harp and her reflection

 

I erect a harp by the mirror lake.

In the mirror I gaze at her grace,

And beauty that ain’t empty or fake. 

When autumn breeze wrinkles her face,

I hear fallen leaves pluck her string.  

And see tender green decorate her reflection. 

Harp sings a song of mesmerizing spring,

Till I tie autumn with affection.  

 

接着 cello and his shadow， 这首诗想试着用英文表达中文诗里的常见的意境和禅意， 也许太朦胧了。 希望能传递一点感觉就好。 想起来还是中国的古诗词， 虽然读的不多， 还是叹服用最精炼的文字， 写出最生动， 又最深远的意境。 英文诗也许有， 只是不是母语， 体会不到。
