《Snowdrops》
Do you know what I was, how I lived?
You know
what despair is; then
winter should have meaning for you.
I did not expect to survive,
earth suppressing me. I didn’t expect
to waken again, to feel
in damp earth my body
able to respond again, remembering
after so long how to open again
in the cold light
of earliest spring —
afraid, yes, but among you again
crying yes risk joy
in the raw wind of the new world.

《雪花莲》
你知道我是什么，
怎样活下来的？
你懂绝望，
冬天就有了意义。
我没想过能活，
土压着我。
我没想过再醒，
在湿土里感到
身体还能动，
记得怎么张开——
在早春的冷光里。
怕，是的，
但我又在你们中间，
哭着说：好啊，
冒险去喜悦吧，
在这新世界的
生风里。
