猫头鹰之所见
作者|Elizabeth Sears Bates

绒绒双翅翱翔夜空
巡视的魔法师
视线所及
既是它的领土
白昼带着所有噪音去酣睡
把寂静留给它
每一道影子都是一个月亮
每一道光都是午日的太阳
告别夺目的光芒
冰凉的夜风来迎接它
至高无上的国王
总在天明被驱逐
惨淡的月光在它眼中
缤纷璀璨
深林间的幽暗给它让路
灵异和恐怖也谢幕
它看见正在被编织的银色蛛网
和花间拜访每一片花瓣的露珠
萤火虫的微光
如太阳般刺眼
它悠悠的呼声回荡着
像一段奇怪的咒语
临消逝前的回声
嘲笑着它的孤寂

What Sees the Owl
by Elizabeth Sears Bates
His velvet wing sweeps through the night:
With magic of his wondrous sight
He oversees his vast domain,
And king supreme of night doth reign.
Around him lies a silent world,
The day with all its noise is furled;
When every shadow seems a moon,
And every light a sun at noon.
How welcome from the blinding glare
Is the cool grayness of the air!
How sweet the power to reign, a king,
When day his banishment will bring!
For him the colorless moonlight
Burns brilliant, an aurora bright;
The forest's deepest gloom stands clear
From mystery and helpless fear.
He sees the silver cobwebs spun,
The dewdrops set the flowers have won,
The firefly's gleam offends his sight,
It seems a spark of fierce sunlight.
Clear winter nights when he so bold,
"For all his feathers, is a-cold,"
Sees the Frost-spirit fling his lace,
And fashion icicles apace.
At his weird call afar and faint
A sleepy echo, like the quaint
Last notes of some wild chant, replies
And mocks his solitude—and dies.
