Leave Cambridge Again Poem by Luo Zhihai

★ Leave Cambridge Again

☆ Poetry by Xu Zhimo (1897-1931, China)
☆ Translation by Luo Zhihai (1954-, China)


Lightly I go
As lightly as I came
I lightly wave
Say goodbye to the rosy clouds of west away

The golden willow by the riverside
In the setting sun, it’s the bride
The beautiful reflection on the shimmering waves,
Ripples in the heart of mine

On the sludge the waterweeds
Swagger under the water oilily
In the gentle waves of Cambridge
I would be a water plant willingly!

That pool under the shade of elm trees
No clear spring
Mixing the scum, the crumbled rainbow is
Sediment of a rainbow like dream

Seeking a dream? Push a long pole
To where the more verdant grass, casually go
A boat loads full of starlight
Sing aloud in the splendor of light

But I can not sing
Quietness is my farewell music
Even summer insects keep silence for me
Silence is tonight’s Cambridge!

Quietly I take my leave
As quietly as I came
I swing my sleeves
Do not take a cloud with me

★ 再别康桥

☆ 徐志摩 诗


轻轻的我走了
正如我轻轻的来
我轻轻的招手
作别西天的云彩

那河畔的金柳
是夕阳中的新娘
波光里的艳影
在我的心头荡漾

软泥上的青荇
油油的在水底招摇
在康桥的柔波里
我甘心做一条水草！

那榆荫下的一潭
不是清泉
是天上虹 揉碎在浮藻间
沉淀着彩虹似的梦

寻梦？撑一支长蒿
向青草更青处漫溯
满载一船星辉
在星辉斑斓里放歌

但我不能放歌
悄悄是别离的笙箫
夏虫也为我沉默
沉默是今晚的康桥！

悄悄的我走了
正如我悄悄的来
我挥一挥衣袖
不带走一片云彩
