哦! 我的迷迭香

Oh! My Rosemary

我住在一块透明的土地
许多河流灌溉我的心——
会说话的雨滴
会跳舞的薄雾
这块土地每个人都醒着
因此，从寂静又温柔的土壤中
迷迭香也醒来了
然而，也不是她蓝色的花，也不是那薄荷味
她的灵魂，她包含的信仰
她播送幸福的涟漪 
她叫醒了月亮
她逗早晨欢笑

我不再作梦，因我也不想睡
因我膝盖上的泥巴
因迷迭香的香味
把整个早晨逗得如此开怀
我站在那里思索久了些
我已经知道薄荷香味弥盖了无言的徘徊
活跃的灵魂也逸入迷迭香的心灵
悠悠迷迭香经过我的乡愁路径
如此的接近眼帘，我看到了揉皱的蓝色和米色
夹在尖尖绿色叶间的小花
迷迭香根植在我心中，对我的生命许下承诺
而不是我在苗圃中培育着她
			

I live in the land of transparency 
The heart irrigated by many streams—
The talking rain
The dancing mist
A land where all have awoken
So quiet beneath the tender earth
Rosemary rises from slumber
Yet without blue flowers, or a minty smell
It has a soul, it contains faith
It ripples happiness
It wakes the moon, and 
It makes the morning laugh
 
I do not dream, I do not sleep
Because of the mud on my knee
And the fragrance of rosemary 
Tickles so much the joyful morning
I stood and pondered for much more than a moment
I already knew that just beyond the wordless prowl 
The living soul takes refuge in the heart of rosemary  
Ceaseless rosemary springs and passes across my nostalgic lane
So close I see the crumpled blue and beige 
Sandwiched between the narrow spiky green 
Rosemary rooting in me with the promise of life 
Rather than I nurturing it in my herbal nursery
