制作：陈旻彦

If you were coming in the fall,
如果你要在秋季来到

I’d brush the summer by
我会将夏日拂去

With half a smile and half a spurn,
一半轻蔑，一半含笑

As housewives do a fly.
像妇人赶走一只苍蝇

If I could see you in a year,
如果一年后能够见你，

I’d wind the months in balls,
我将把月份缠绕成团

And put them each in separate drawers,
分别存放在不同的抽屉

Until their time befalls.
免得混淆了日期


If only centuries delayed,
如果只耽搁几个世纪

I’d count them on my hand,
我会掰着手指计算

Subtracting till my fingers dropped
直到我的手指落入

Into Van Diemen‘s land.
亡者的国度里

If certain, when this life was out,
如果确知聚会在

That yours and mine should be,
你我生命结束时

I’d toss it yonder like a rind,
我愿意把生命像果皮般抛弃

And taste eternity.
而品味永恒

But now, all ignorant of the length
但是现在难以确知

Of time’s uncertain wing,
相隔还有多长时日

It goads me, like the goblin bee,
这状况刺痛我有如毒蜂

That will not state its sting.
秘而不宣，是那毒刺
