雙語詩歌·渡沙洲

渡沙洲

Crossing the Bar

丁尼生

Alfred Tennyson

日落，黃昏星閃閃，

Sunset and evening star,

召我的呼聲清亮！

And one clear call for me!

但愿沙洲上不會有哀傷悲嘆，

And may there be no moaning of the bar,

當我向海上啟航，

When I put out to sea,

可是流動的大潮像在安睡，

But such a tide as moving seems asleep,

太滿了，沒聲音，沒浪花，

Too full for sound and foam,

這時，從無邊汪洋里涌來的一位

When that which drew from out the boundless deep

重新起程回故家。

Turns again home.

薄暮，一陣陣晚鐘，

Twilight and evening bell,

這之后就是黑暗！

And after that the dark!

但愿不會有告別時候的哀痛，

And may there be no sadness of farewell,

當我登上這渡船；

When I embark ;

雖然，穿過我們的時間和空間，

For though from out our bourne of Time and Place

洪波會帶我遠走，

The flood may bear me far,

我希望見到“領(lǐng)航人”，面對面，

I hope to see my Pilot face to face

當我渡過了沙洲。

When I have crossed the bar.
