英语诗歌：永恒的时光——泰戈尔

Time is endless in thy hands, my lord.

There is none to count thy minutes.

Days and nights pass and ages bloom and fade like flowers.

Thou knowest how to wait.

Thy centuries follow each other perfecting a small wild flower.

We have no time to lose,

and having no time we must scramble for a chance.

We are too poor to be late.

And thus it is that time goes by

while I give it to every querulous man who claims it,

and thine altar is empty of all offerings to the last.

At the end of the day I hasten in fear lest thy gate be shut;

but I find that yet there is time.

【参考译文】

时光在你手里永无止境，我的主

没有什么能计算你的片刻

日夜流逝，年岁似花容般盛开与凋零

如何等待，唯你最明了

你的千秋百年，彼此追随，完美如那娇小的野花

我们没有时间去错过

时不我与，我们必须争取机会

我们太可怜以至不能蹉跎

时光一挥

我将它献给每位抱怨的人儿

你的祭坛终将空空如也

一日终结，我加快脚步，唯恐你的大门关上

幸而发现，时光仍留。

泰戈尔
