【名诗释译】泰戈尔——吉檀迦利（6）

Pluck this little flower and take it, delay not! I fear lest it droop and drop into the dust.
摘下这朵花来，拿去吧！不要迟延！我怕它会萎谢了，掉在尘土里。

It may not find a place in thy garland, but honour it with a touch of pain from thy hand and pluck it. I fear lest the day end before I am aware, and the time of offering go by.
它也许不配点缀你的花冠，但请你采下它，以你手采折的痛苦来给它光宠。我怕在我警觉之先，日光已逝，供献的时间过了。

Though its colour be not deep and its smell be faint, use this flower in thy service and pluck it while there is time.
虽然它颜色不深，香气很淡，请仍用这花来朝拜，趁着时辰未过，那就采下它吧！
