梦与诗
Dreams and Poetry
都是平常经验，
It's nothing but ordinary experience,
都是平常影像，
And ordinary pictures and visions,
偶然涌到梦中来，
That happen to arrive in a dream,
变幻出多少新奇花样！
And turn to wondrous forms!
都是平常情感，
It's nothing but ordinary sentiments,
都是平常言语，
And ordinary words and sentences,
偶然碰着个诗人，
That happen to be uttered by a poet,
变幻出多少新奇诗句！
And turn to wondrous verses!
醉过才知酒浓，
Having been drunk, you'll know the powerfulness of wine;
爱过才知情重：——
Having loved, you'll know the seriousness of love:
你不能做我的诗，
You can never write my poems,
正如我不能做你的梦。
As I can never dream your dreams.
