不鎖之門雙語現代詩歌

It went many years,

But at last came a knock,

And I though of the door

With no lock to lock.

過了許多年時光，

忽聽得敲門聲響，

我想起門沒有鎖，

我怎能將它鎖上。

I blew out the light,

I tip-toed the floor,

And raised both hands

In prayer to the door.

我旋即吹滅了燈，

輕輕走在地板上，

又悄悄舉起雙手，

對着門禱告思量。

But the knock came again.

My window was wide;

I climbed on the sill

And descended outside.

敲門聲又響起來！

我看見窗戶洞開，

於是偷偷爬上去，

一閃身跳到窗外。

Back over the sill

I bade a “Come in”

To whatever the knock

At the door may have been.

我轉身探進腦袋，

喊了一聲：進來！

管它敲門的.是誰，

有什麼可以奇怪。

So at a knock

I emptied my cage

To hide in the world

And alter with age.

就這樣一聲門響，

我居然跳了出來，

投身不鎖的世界，

隨歲月漂流在外。
