一棵开花的树
席慕容
如何让你遇见我,
在我最美丽的时刻。为这,
我已在佛前求了五百年,
求佛让我们结一段尘缘。
佛于是把我化作一棵树,
长在你必经的路旁。
阳光下慎重地开满了花,
朵朵都是我前世的盼望。
当你走近,请你细听,
那颤抖的叶是我等待的热情。
而当你终于无视地走过,
在你身后落了一地的,
朋友啊,那不是花瓣,
是我凋零的心。
A Blooming Tree
Xi Murong
How to present myself to you at my best hour?
I have prayed Buddha for five hundred years
To create such an occasion.
Buddha has transformed me into a tree
Planted by the roadside where you pass by.
Bred in sunshine,I am in full bloom,
Each flower expressing the hope of my other life.
When you pass by,will you listen
To the shivering leaves telling you my passion?
At last,when you pass by me mercilessly,
Behind you the ground is overstrewn with my fallen petals.
Alas!My friend,they are not withered flowers
But my broken heart.
