狄金森雙語詩歌:有些人守安息日去教堂

有些人守安息日去教堂

有些人守安息日去教堂——

而我，在家里守——

用一只長刺歌雀唱詩——

果園，就是穹頂——

有些人守安息日身穿白袍——

而我只佩戴翅膀——

沒有教堂的，鳴鐘，

我們的小司事——歌唱。

上帝傳道，他是知名的牧師——

這誡訓從來不長久，

我最終，沒有去天堂——

我一直在，行路。

Some keep the Sabbath going to Church

Some keep the Sabbath going to Church—

I keep it, staying at Home—

With a Bobolink for a Chorister—

And an Orchard, for a Dome—

Some keep the Sabbath in Surplice—

I just wear my Wings—

And instead of tolling the Bell, for Church,

Our little Sexton—sings.

God preaches, a noted Clergyman—

And the sermon is never long,

So instead of getting to Heaven, at last—

I’m going, all along.
