《唯有在梦里》

唯有在梦里，我才见到他们的面，

那是我儿时的伙伴，

路易斯回来了，戴着她棕色的发辫，

安妮披着长卷发显得温柔又狂野。

唯有在梦里，时间才被遗忘 --

他们会遭遇些什么，谁能知晓？

我们又像往昔一样相聚，

玩偶之家就在楼梯的拐角处站立。

岁月消磨不去他们圆圆的脸蛋，

我遇见他们的眼眸，温柔依旧 --

我想知道，他们是否也会梦见我，

在他们眼里，我依然是个孩子吗？

《Only In Sleep》

- Sara Teasdale

Only in sleep I see their faces,

Children I played with when I was a child,

Louise comes back with her brown hair braided,

Annie with ringlets warm and wild.

Only in sleep Time is forgotten --

What may have come to them, who can know?

Yet we played last night as long ago,

And the doll-house stood at the turn of the stair.

The years had not sharpened their smooth round faces,

I met their eyes and found them mild --

Do they, too, dream of me, I wonder,

And for them am I too a child?
