At Blackwater Pond
by Mary Oliver
At Blackwater Pond the tossed waters have settled
after a night of rain.
I dip my cupped hands. I drink
a long time. It tastes
like stone, leaves, fire. It falls cold
into my body, waking the bones. I hear them
deep inside me, whispering
oh what is that beautiful thing
that just happened?
《黑水塘里》作者：玛丽·奥利弗
黑水塘里乱水安定了，
一夜的雨已经停下。
我捧手舀水。我喝了
好一会。这味道
像石头，叶子，火。它把寒冷
落入我的体内，唤醒骨骼。我听见它们
从内心深处，窃窃私语
哦那是什么美妙的事物
刚好发生？
