Say, sea,

Emily Dickinson (1830–86). Complete Poems. 1924.

Part Three: Love

XI

MY river runs to thee:
Blue sea, wilt welcome me?

My river waits reply.
Oh sea, look graciously!

I ’ll fetch thee brooks
From spotted nooks,—

Say, sea,
Take me!


對妳
傾注的是溪 是河
奔流不止的愛意

而妳只是輕喚一聲
我的名

妳的心似海
沉穩的寂靜的奧妙的
不只一種的深藍色

山不高水不清
流出不乾不淨我的心

對我
Don't take me!
