夏思

夏思

我台大醫學院一九六八班同學 D.J. Lee ，享受美東巴爾的摩的夏天，在湖濱散步，想起詩人
William Butler Yeats 的 "Sailing to Byzantium"，又憶 李商隠的 "登樂遊原"，寫下英文詩一首，"Summer"：

Summer   (D J Lee)
                                         
The loudest bird was singing at tree top.                         
A breeze passed thru but he won't stop.                         
The land was covered with colors and deep green;        
And blue sky reflected upon water scene.  
                 
I walked along a winding path by the lake;                                 
Came up a small ridge then a break.                               
Suddenly I saw a rose garden below.                             
Was it the one that I promised some time ago?
           
Earthlings were at its best near Summers end.                
I was blessed with a fine moment to spend.                     
The day was almost done for sun was setting.                 
The hills painted the color of fire burning.
                       
There was one last song I would like to hear                   
From the one who had guided me here.                          

葉子不自量力，班門弄斧，漢譯其詩：

夏思

響鳥枝頭高歌，
不理微風吹拂；
大地百彩深綠，
湖水映著藍天。

我沿湖邊曲徑，
來到小丘稍懈；
忽見一欉玖瑰園，
是我許久的奢望。

萬物最佳總在夏末前，
我蒙福消度美好時光；
只是向晚近黃昏，
西山已染夕陽紅。

我盼再聽最後一曲，
引我來這裏的那首。
