【美文欣赏】 The Garden by Moonlight A black cat among roses, Phlox, lilac-misted under a first-quarter moon, The sweet smells of heliotrope and night-scented stock. The garden is very still, It is dazed with moonlight, Contented with perfume, Dreaming the opium dreams of its folded poppies. Firefly lights open and vanish High as the tip buds of the golden glow Low as the sweet alyssum flowers at my feet. Moon-shimmer on leaves and trellises, Moon-spikes shafting through the snow ball bush. Only the little faces of the ladies’ delight are alert and staring, Only the cat, padding between the roses, Shakes a branch and breaks the chequered pattern As water is broken by the falling of a leaf. Then you come, And you are quiet like the garden, And white like the alyssum flowers, And beautiful as the silent sparks of the fireflies. Ah, Beloved, do you see those orange lilies? They knew my mother, But who belonging to me will they know When I am gone. 黑猫在玫瑰丛中， 淡紫色的草夹竹桃，在一轮弯月下蒙上薄雾， 天芥菜芳香，夜来香扑鼻。 花园十分寂静， 在月色下尽显朦胧， 沉溺于香味， 如痴如醉的鸦片之梦中是叠起的罂粟花。 萤火虫的光一闪一灭 高飞至金光菊的芽尖 低至我脚下的香雪球花。 月光在树叶和格子凉亭上忽隐忽现， 月牙直穿过雪球花的轴心。 只有女士们面带悦色，小脸全神贯注， 只有猫，填满玫瑰丛的间隙， 摇动树枝，打破格子图案 就像水因树叶掉落而破碎。 然后你来了， 你像花园一样安静， 如香雪球花一般洁白， 美如萤火虫无声的火花。 啊，亲爱的，你看见那些桔百合了吗？ 它们认识我母亲， 但它们怎会得知谁属于我 若是我离开了。
