Song of Wisdom

智慧之歌

I have reached illusion’s end

我已走到了幻想底盡頭，

In this grove of falling leaves ,

這是一片落葉飄零的樹林，

Each leaf a signal of past joy ,

每一片葉子標記著一種歡喜，

Drifting sere within my heart.

現在都枯黃地堆積在內心。

Some were loves of youthful days?

有一種歡喜是青春的愛情，

Blazing meteors in a distant sky ,

那是遙遠天邊的燦爛的流星，

Extinguished , vanished without trace ,

有的不知去向，永遠消逝了，

Or dropped before me , stiff and cold as ice .

有的落在腳前，冰冷而僵硬。

Some were boisterous friendships ,

另一種歡喜是喧騰的友誼，

Fullblown blossoms , innocent of coming fall .

茂盛的花不知道還有秋季，

Society dammed the pulsing blood ,

社會的格局代替了血的沸騰，

Life cast molten passion in reality’s shell .

生活的冷風把熱情鑄為實際。

Another joy , the spell of high ideals ,

另一種歡喜是迷人的理想，

Drew me through many a twisting mile of thorn .

它使我在荊棘之途走得夠遠，

To suffer for ideals is no pain ;

為理想而痛苦并不可怕，

But oh ,to see them mocked and scorned !

可怕的是看它終于成笑談。

Now nothing remains but remorse?

只有痛苦還在，它是日常生活

Daily punishment for past pride .

每天在懲罰自己過去的傲慢，

When the glory of the sky stands condemned,

那絢爛的天空都受到譴責，

In this wasteland, what colour survive ?

還有什么彩色留在這片荒原?

There is one tree that stands alone intact ,

但惟有一棵智慧之樹不凋，

It thrives , I know , on my suffering’s lifeblood .

我知道它以我的苦汁為營養，

Its greenshade mocks me ruthlessly !

它的碧綠是對我無情的嘲弄，

O wisdom tree ! I curse your every growing bud.

我詛咒它每一片葉的滋長。
