The Watcher守望中的媽媽
She always leaned to watch for us .
她總在那兒把我們守望,
Anxious if we were late ,
我們晚歸會使她發(fā)慌,
In winter by the window ,
冬天里守在窗前
In summer by the gate ;
夏日里靠在門前。
And though we mocked her tenderly ,
我們曾善意地將她嘲弄
Who had such foonich care ,
這般呵護似乎超出正常
The long way home would seem more safe ,
可漫長的歸途卻平添了安全
Because she waited there .
因為有她在殷切地翹望。
Her thoughts were all so full of us
她心里盛下的卻是我們,
She never could forget !
卻不曾有一刻的遺忘!
And so I think that where she is
我欣然感到她的那番期待
She must be watching yet,
無論她身處什么地方。
Waiting till we come home to her
守望,一直到我們遠回到她身旁
Anxious if we are late
若晚歸,會使她發(fā)慌,
Watching from Heaven's window
守望,在天庭之窗,
Leaning from Heaven's gate.
佇立,在天庭的門廊。
