The Prayer

Sarah Teasdale

My answered prayer came up to me,
And in the silence thus spake he:
"O you who prayed for me to come,
Your greeting is but cold and dumb."

My heart made answer: "You are fair,
But I have prayed too long to care.
Why came you not when all was new,
And I had died for joy of you."


祈祷者

我的祈祷答复者向我走来，
静寂中他这样说：
“噢，你，祈祷我来，
问候却是无言冷漠。”

我的心答道：“你很公正，
但我作了太久祈祷已无顾虑。
为何你不在一切初始的时候来，
我已为你而快乐死去。”
