“如果我走了”

   莎拉·蒂斯代尔

如果有一天我爬上岁月的寿梯

走向彼岸天堂，

请跟随着我，你的目光

一如既往地把我关注；

光阴不饶人会落叶般消逝，

而你我毋须在乎，因为咱俩是

在天比翼鸟，在地连理枝

生死与共，永远的贴心知己。

    “IF I MUST GO”

     Sara Teasdale

If I must go to heaven’s end

Climbing the ages like a stair,

Be near me and forever bend

With the same eyes above me there;

Time will fly past us like leaves flying,

We shall not heed, for we shall be

Beyond living, beyond dying,

Knowing and known unchangeably.

From < Flame and Shadow > 1920

“Beyond living, beyonddying”让我联想起“在天愿作比翼鸟，在地愿为连理枝”，千驱万赶也挥之不去……
