晚安诗集 我为美而死

I Died for Beauty by Emily Dickinson

我为美而死，艾米莉·狄金森著

I died for Beauty, but was scarce

我为美而死，对坟墓

Adjusted in the Tomb

几乎，还不适应

When One who died for Truth, was lain

一个殉真理的烈士

In an adjoining Room

就成了我的近邻

He questioned softly why I failed

他轻声问我“为什么倒下

"For Beauty," I replied

我回答他：“为了美”

"And I for Truth, the Two are One

他说： “我为真理，真与美

We Brethren are," he said

是一体，我们是兄弟”

And so, as Kinsmen met a Night

就这样，像亲人，黑夜相逢

We talked between the Rooms

我们，隔着房间谈心

Until the Moss had reached our lips

直到苍苔长上我们的嘴唇

And covered up our names

覆盖掉，我们的姓名
