生命

凌風 譯

如同一顆隕落的星,
或像飛翔的雄鷹,
或像新春的顏色俗麗,
或像清晨水銀般的露滴,
或像陣風掠過波面,
或像泡沫在水上一現,—
人也是這樣,他借來的光,
立即催還,今夜就得付償。
風吹過,泡沫就死亡,
春天在秋的墳墓中埋葬,
晨露乾了,流星墜落,
飛翔過去,—人被遺忘!
   京格(Henry King, 1592-1669)英國教牧,詩人。曾任Chichester主教。

Life

Like to the falling of a star,
Or as the flights of eagles are,
Or like the fresh spring's gaudy hue,
Or silver drops of morning dew,
Or like a wind that chafes the flood,
Or bubbles which on water stood,—
E'en such is man, whose borrowed light
Is straight called in, and paid to-night.
The wind blows out, the bubble dies,
The spring entombed in autumn lies,
The dew dries up, the star is shot,
The flight is past,— and man forgot!
