THE ROSE IN THE WIND

James Stephens

Dip and swing,
Lift and sway;
Dream a life,
In a dream, away.

Like a dream
In a sleep
Is the rose
In the wind;

And a fish
In the deep;
And a man
In the mind;

Dreaming to lack
All that is his;
Dreaming to gain
All that he is.

Dreaming a life,
In a dream, away
Dip and swing,
Lift and sway.


风中蔷薇花

郭沫若 译

颤颤巍巍，
颉之颃之；
睡梦生涯，
抑之扬之。

睡中之梦，
风中之花，
蔷薇颠倒，
睡梦生涯。

水中有鱼，
心中有君；
鱼难离水，
君是我心。

梦有所丧，
丧其所有；
梦有所得，
得其自由。

睡梦生涯，
抑之扬之，
颤颤巍巍，
颉之颃之。
