Flame and Shadow

这是诗人Sara Teasdale的一首诗。
诗名是On The Dunes,收集在Flame and Shadow的诗集里。
这是我最喜欢的一首英文诗,虽然我读过的英文诗没那么几首。
但读起这首来就是有感觉,心灵触动的感觉,不管什么时候。。。
今日和大家分享。

On The Dunes

If there is any life when death is over,
These tawny beaches will know much of me,
I shall come back, as constant and as changeful
As the unchanging, many-colored sea.

If life was small, if it has made me scornful,
Forgive me; I shall straighten like a flame
In the great calm of death, and if you want me
Stand on the sea-ward dunes and call my name.

我独爱这首诗,可能是我知道这首诗时,还知道它背后的故事。。。
