Gold Dragon Temple by Luo Fu ~ 洛夫 《金龙禅寺》 with English Translations

作品原文

洛夫 《金龙禅寺》

晚钟
是游客下山的小路
羊齿植物
沿着白色的石阶
一路嚼了下去

如果此处降雪
而只见
一只惊起的灰蝉
把山中的灯火
一盏盏地
点燃

作品译文

Gold Dragon Temple
Luo Fu

the evening bell
is a small trail
travelers take
down the mountain
ferns
along steps of white stone
chews its way all the way down

if this place were covered with snow…

but all that’s seen is
a single startled cicada rising
to light the lanterns
one by one
all over the mountain
