　　"We play from the time we wake till the day ends.

　　“我們與黃金色的曙光遊戲，我們與銀白色的月亮遊戲。”

　　We play with the golden dawn, we play with the silver moon.

　　我問道：“但是，我怎麼能夠上你那裡去呢?”

　　I ask, "But, how am I to get up to you?" They answer, "Come to the edge of the earth, lift up your hands to the sky, and you will be taken up into the clouds." 他們答道：“你到地球的邊上來，舉手向天，就可以被接到雲端裡來了。”

　　住在波浪上的人對我喚道—— “我們從早晨唱歌到晚上;我們前進又前進地旅行，也不知我們所經過的是什麼地方。”

　　"We sing from morning till night; on and on we travel and know not where we pass."

　　我問道：“但是，我怎麼能加入你們隊伍裡去呢?”

　　I ask, "But, how am I to join you?" They tell me, "Come to the edge of the shore and stand with your eyes tight shut, and you will be carried out upon the waves." 他們告訴我說：“來到岸旁，站在那裡，緊閉你的兩眼，你就被帶到波浪上來了。”

　　Do you not remember how he sat at the window and wondered at the tangle of your roots thatplunged underground?

　　你不記得是他怎樣坐在窗內，詫異地望著你深入地下的糾纏的樹根麼?

　　The women would come to fill their jars in the pond, and your huge black shadow wouldwriggle on the water like sleep struggling to wake up.

　　婦人們常到池邊，汲了滿罐的水去，你的大黑影便在水面上搖動，好像睡著的人掙扎著要醒來似的。

　　Sunlight danced on the ripples like restless tiny shuttles weaving golden tapestry.

　　日光在微波上跳舞，好像不停不息的小梭在織著金色的花氈。

　　Two ducks swam by the weedy margin above their shadows, and the child would sit still andthink.

　　兩隻鴨子挨著蘆葦，在蘆葦影子上游來游去，孩子靜靜地坐在那裡想著。

　　He longed to be the wind and blow through your rustling branches, to be your shadow andlengthen with the day on the water, to be a bird and perch on your top-most twig, and tofloat like those ducks among the weeds and shadows.

　　他想做風，吹過你的蕭蕭的枝杈;想做你的影子，在水面上，隨了日光而俱長;想做一隻鳥兒，棲息在你的最高枝上;還想做那兩隻鴨，在蘆葦與陰影中間游來游去。
