《飞鸟集》21—30

那些把灯背在背上的人 , 把他们的影子投到了自己前面 .

They throw their shadows before them who carry their lantern on their back.

22

我的存在 , 对我是一个永久的神奇 , 这就是生活 .

That I exist is a perpetual surprise which is life.

23

“我们萧萧的树叶都有声响回答那风和雨 . 你是谁呢 , 那样的沉默着?”

“我不过是一朵花 . ”

We, the rustling leaves, have a voice that answers the storms, but who are you so silent?"

I am a mere flower.

24

休息与工作的关系 , 正如眼睑与眼睛的关系 .

Rest belongs to the work as the eyelids to the eyes.

25

人是一个初生的孩子 , 他的力量 , 就是生长的力量 .

Man is a born child, his power is the power of growth.

26

神希望我们酬答他 , 在于他送给我们的花朵 , 而不在于太阳和土地 .

God expects answers for the flowers he sends us, not for the sun the earth.

27

光明如一个裸体的孩子 , 快快活活地在绿叶当中游戏 , 它不知道人是会欺诈的 .

The light that plays, like a naked child, among the green leaves happily knows not that man can lie.

28

啊 , 美呀 , 在爱中找你自己吧 , 不要到你镜子的谄谀去找寻 .

O Beauty, find thyself in love, not in the flattery of thy mirror.

29

我的心把她的波浪在世界的海岸上冲激着 , 以热泪在上边写着她的题记：“我爱你 . ”

My heart beats her waves at the shore of the world and writes upon it her signature in tears with the words, "I love thee."

30

“月儿呀 , 你在等候什么呢?”

“向我将让位给他的太阳致敬 . ”

Moon, for what do you wait?

To salute the sun for whom I must make way.
