W.S.默温的诗（3首）
为我的亡故纪念日而作
每年我度过这一天，无知无觉
当最后的火焰向我挥手
寂静启程
不倦的旅者
好似暗星的光束
我将不再看见自己
在世间，如同穿着奇异的衣服
惊讶地审视大地
一个女人的爱
以及男人们的寡耻
如同连雨三日后，今天写作时
听见鹪鹩歌唱，绵雨歇止
我躬身，却莫明所向
For The Anniversary Of My Death-----by William Stanley Merwin
Every year without knowing it I have passed the day
When the last fires will wave to me
And the silence will set out
Tireless traveller
Like the beam of a lightless star
Then I will no longer
Find myself in life as in a strange garment
Surprised at the earth
And the love of one woman
And the shamelessness of men
As today writing after three days of rain
Hearing the wren sing and the falling cease
And bowing not knowing to what
别离
你的离去穿过我
如丝线穿过一根针。
我的所为均缝缀着它的颜色。
Separation-----by William Stanley Merwin
Your absence has gone through me
Like thread through a needle.
Everything I do is stitched with its color.
愿
我手中的星子
在坠落
何为无用，有共识
我愿向自然规律俯首
而非她的走卒
Wish-----by William Stanley Merwin
The star in my
Hand is falling
All the uniforms know what's no use
May I bow to Necessity not
To her hirelings
