The Blue Boat                                       蓝色的船

By Kathleen Jamie                                                凯瑟琳 詹米

How late the daylight edges                                醉人的黎明已去

toward the northern night                                    夜幕也将随之来临

as though journeying                                           仿佛旅行

in a blue boat, gilded in mussel shell             在蓝色的船里闪烁

with, slung from its mast, a lantern                 桅杆上升起的灯

like our old idea of the soul                               如我们心灵的诗语
