泰戈尔－飞鸟集(16-20)

I sit at my window this morning where the world like a passer-by stops for a moment, nods to me and goes.

我今早坐在窗前，世界好像一个路人，停留了一会，向我点头后便离开了。

There little thoughts are the rustle of leaves; they have their whisper of joy in my mind.

这些微飔，是树叶的簌簌之声，它们在我的心里愉快地微语着。

---

What you are you do not see, what you see is your shadow.

你看不见你自己，你所看到的只是你的影子。

---

My wish are fools, they shout across thy song, my Master.

Let me but listen.

神呀，我那些愿望真傻呀，它们杂在你的歌声中喧叫着。

让我静听着吧。

I cannot choose the best.

The best chooses me.

我不能选择最好的。

是最好的选择了我。
