狄金森雙語詩歌:一只鳥，飛落在小路上

一只鳥，飛落在小路上

一只鳥，飛落在小路上——

并不知道我在一旁——

看它將一只蟲子啄成兩半

再生吞下肚，

接著，它在近旁的草葉上

啜飲一滴露水——

又輕躍到墻邊

給一只甲蟲讓路——

它飛快地轉(zhuǎn)轉(zhuǎn)眼珠

茫然環(huán)顧四周——

像兩顆驚恐的珠子，我這樣想——

它晃著絲絨般的小腦袋

仿佛身處危險，小心翼翼，

我丟給它一塊面包屑

它便舒展羽毛

拍拍翅膀飛回了家——

比船槳撥開海水更溫柔，

銀色的海面沒有波瀾——

比正午飛離沙洲的蝴蝶更輕盈

不濺起一朵浪花。

A Bird came down the Walk

A Bird came down the Walk—

He did not know I saw—

He bit an Angleworm in halves

And ate the fellow, raw,

And then he drank a Dew

From a convenient Grass—

And then hopped sidewise to the Wall

To let a Beetle pass—

He glanced with rapid eyes

That hurried all around—

They looked like frightened Beads, I thought—

He stirred his Velvet Head

Like one in danger, Cautious,

I offered him a Crumb

And he unrolled his feathers

And rowed him softer home—

Than Oars divide the Ocean,

Too silver for a seam—

Or Butterflies, off Banks of Noon

Leap, plashless as they swim.
