白雪

White Snow

她用洁白装点世界。
她用洁白塑造自己。
她用洁白拷问众生。
我承受不了她目光灼灼的注视。
我的心起了微微的战栗，一种搅动整个人生的战栗。
不，她永远不会消失，那是她生命孕育的诗行——
列车窗外黛色的山峦，
点燃少女情思的映山红，
横陈阡陌、渴望献身的红花草……
			

With whiteness she adorns the world.
With pureness she molds herself.
With cleanness she interrogates all beings mortal.
I cannot bear a single gaze of her keen, sparkling eyes.
My heart trembling, a tremble stirring my whole life.
Never will she vanish, for it is a verse that she breeds---
Out of the train windows fleeting mountains dark green,
Azaleas kindling the maidens' love and affection,
Crisscross lands and roads clovers longing for devotion…
