The Rose in the Wind

By 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.

郭沫若  译:

风中蔷薇花

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。

Esicq注：其中的“颤颤巍巍，颉之颃之”译得好。“颉之颃之”语出诗经的“燕燕于飞，颉之颃之。”（国风 邶风 燕燕）http://blog.sina.com.cn/s/blog_6f58baf00100mout.html
