她來了

(哈立 荷蘭)

    我站在海岸邊，

看著一條小船揚著白帆乘著清晨的微風開向海，

    她是美的化身， 我佇立凝視著她，

  直到她消逝在水平面的剎那， 有人說 " 她走了 "。

    走到那兒? 只不過是從我的視界消失而已，

    看不到她的是我， 不是她，

    而當有人說 " 她走了 " 的瞬間，

有人在彼岸看著她出現，

        而大聲的歡呼 " 她來了 "。

這就是由生入死的過程。

There She Comes

(by Harry Scott Holland)

    I am standing on the sea shore---

        A ship spreads her white sails to the morning

         breeze and starts for the ocean.

        She is an object of beauty and I stand watching her.

        Till at last she fades on the horizon

         And somene says: " She is Gone."

    Gone Where? Gone from my sight,

             that is all.

    The loss of sight is in me, not in her,

             And just at the moment when

    someone says, " She is Gone,"

        There are other voices who are watching her coming.

             Other voices take up the glad

    Shout, " There she comes!"

        And that is dying.
