他們雪片般落下，他們流星般落下，
象一朵玫瑰花的花瓣紛紛落下，
當風的手指忽然間
穿划過六月初夏。

在眼睛不能發現的地方，--
他們凋零於不透縫隙的草叢；
但上帝攤開他無赦的名單
依然能傳喚每一副面孔。

The Battlefield

They dropped like flakes, they dropped like stars,
Like petals from a rose,
When suddenly across the June
A wind with fingers goes.

They perished in the seamless grass, --
No eye could find the place;
But God on his repealless list
Can summon every face.

---Emily Dickinson
