它在夜里向我歌唱：“我曾那么爱你。”

It sings to me in the night, “I loved you.”

但是，唉，我屋里的小灯却没有亮。
I have my stars in the sky.

用沉默洗涤你的灵魂吧。
The dust of the dead words clings to thee.
Wash thy soul with silence.

出来吧，我的心，带着你的爱去和它交融。

我的心伴着阳光的抚摸而欢唱；
我的生命因与万物一同遨游在空间的湛蓝、
时间的墨黑中而感到欢喜。
My thoughts shimmer with these shimmering leaves
and my heart sings with the touch of this sunlight;
my life is glad to be floating with all things into the blue of space,
into the dark of time.
上帝的神威在温柔的轻风里，而不在狂风暴雨中。
God’s great power is in the gentle breeze,not in the storm.
这只是一个梦，万物放荡不羁，压迫着我。但我醒来时，我将觉得这些都已聚集在你那里，于是我自由了。
This is a dream in which things are all loose and they oppress.I shall find them gathered in thee when I awake and shall be free.

低语着：“我们是你想家的孩子，母亲，现在从天上回到你身边了。”

I can see your face and know you as bliss.

压迫着我的，到底是我那想要出走的灵魂，
还是那轻敲我的心扉、想要进来的尘世之魂呢？
That which oppresses me, is it my soul trying to come out in the open, or the soul of the world knocking at my heart for its entrance?

instead of hiding in the mountains.
我一路走来，水从我的瓶中溢了出来。
到家时，水只剩下了一点点。
I spill water from my water-jar as I walk on my way,
very little remains for my home.
杯中的水熠熠闪烁，海中的水却漆黑无边。
渺小的真理可以用文字讲明白，而伟大的真理却保持沉默。
The water in a vessel is sparkling; the water in the sea is dark.
The small truth has words that are clear; the great truth has great silence.
你的微笑是你自己花园里的花朵，
你的谈吐是你自己青山上的松涛；
但是你的心啊，却是那个我们都熟知的女人。

your talk was the rustle of your own mountain pines,
but your heart was the woman that we all know.

——大礼物却留给所有人。

the depth of thy tears as the sea has the earth.

一盏明灯，背后隐藏着等候。
The evening sky to me is like a window, and a lighted lamp,
and a waiting behind it.

我是秋天的云，空空无雨，
但在成熟的稻田里，可以看见我的充实。
I am the autumn cloud, empty of rain,
see my fullness in the field of ripened rice.
他们愤世嫉俗，他们残酷杀戮，人类反而赞扬他们。
然而上帝却羞愧地急忙把他的回忆埋藏在青草下面。
They hated and killed and men praised them.
But god in shame hastens to hide its memory under the green grass.
