the soul
john 靈魂
約翰·格斯瓦斯
my soul's the sky——my flying soul!
the lightnight flare,the thunder roll,
the sun and moon and stars go by,
and great winds sweep my soul,the sky!
my brooding soul——my soul's the sea!
the snaky weed,and whishing scree,
the white wave's surge from pole to pole,
and still green depth——the sea's my soul!
my soul's the spring——my loveing soul!
will dance,and leap,and drain the bowl
of love;and longing,twine and cling
to all the world——my soul's the spring!
my fevered soul!my soul's the town!
thro'flaring street goes up and down;
the bells of feast and traffic toll
and maze their music in my soul.
my tranquil soul!my soul too wide
for sky,or spring,town,or tide!
thou traveller to outer strand
of home serene——my soul so grand!
我的靈魂是太空！
電在閃呵雷在轟，
日月羣星在運動，
時而捲起大臺風！
我的靈魂是大海！
蛇樣的藻響石崖，
百浪濤天天接地，
琉璃萬頃身無界！
我的靈魂是陽春，
踊躍狂飲愛之淳，
萬事萬物皆有情，
渴望，纏綿理不清。
我的靈魂是市鎮！
陸離街道莽縱橫；
祭日之中驛站鈴，
結成交響之樂音。
我的靈魂太沉靜，
天，春，鎮，海比不贏！
遠遊彼岸之太清——
我的靈魂真雄渾！
