狄金森雙語詩歌:上帝造了一棵小龍膽草

上帝造了一棵小龍膽草

上帝造了一棵小龍膽草——

她想努力變成一朵玫瑰——

卻失敗了，夏天將她取笑——

可就在冬雪降臨前

那里長出了一個紫色的花苞——

群山為之傾倒——

夏天遮住自己的額頭——

嘲笑，變?yōu)槌聊?/p>

在嚴(yán)寒中，她亭亭玉立——

提爾紫不會出現(xiàn)

只等北風(fēng)將她催開——

主啊，我可以綻放嗎？

God made a little Gentian

God made a little Gentian—

It tried—to be a Rose—

And failed—and all the Summer laughed—

But just before the Snows

There rose a Purple Creature—

That ravished all the Hill—

And Summer hid her Forehead—

And Mockery—was still—

The Frosts were her condition—

The Tyrian would not come

Until the North—invoke it—

Creator—Shall I—bloom?
