"Hope" is the thing with feathers -- EMILY DICKINSON
希望,長著羽毛--埃米莉·迪金森
"Hope" is the thing with feathers
希望,長著羽毛
That perches in the soul
棲息在靈魂里
And sings the tune without the words
它唱著無字的歌
And never stops at all
一刻,都不停息
And sweetest in the Gale is heard
風(fēng)中傳來那旋律,多美妙
And sore must be the storm
暴風(fēng)雨定當猛烈
That could abash the little Bird
使那小鳥困窘
That kept so many warm
那暖了無數(shù)心的小鳥
I've heard it in the chillest land
極寒苦地,我曾聽到它
And on the strangest Sea
詭異海域,我也聽到它
Yet never in Extremity
然而,無論何種絕境險遇
It asked a crumb-of me
它對我從無,絲毫索取
