山外書      鄭愁予

不必為我懸念
我在山裏……
來自海上的雲
說海的沉默太深
來自海上的風
說海的笑聲太遼闊

我是來自海上的人
山是凝固的波浪
（不再相信海的消息）
我底歸心
不再湧動

泰戈爾詩集漂鳥集Rabindranath Tagore 1961-1941

Stray Birds

1.

If you shed tears when you miss the sun,you also miss the stars

如果你因為錯失陽光而流淚,你也將錯失群星

2.

Sorrow is hushed into peace in my heart like the evening among the silent trees.

我心中的悲傷已歸平靜,如寂靜林中的向晚.

3.

Some unseen fingers,like an idle breeze,are playing upon my heart the music of the ripple

不知是誰的纖纖玉指,像一陣悠閒的微風,在我心頭上彈奏著漣波般的音樂.

4.

The tree come up to my window like the yearning voice of the dumb earth.

樹木伸到我的窗前,如瘖啞的大地發出渴慕的聲音.

5.

The sun goes to cross the Western sea, leaving its last salutation to the East

太陽跨往西天的海,留予東方以最後的問候.

6.

Thank the flame for its light,but do not forget the lampholder standing

In the shade with constancy of patient.

感謝燈燄的光明,但請不要忘記那佇立於陰影中以堅定耐心的燈臺.
