一座演化中的島嶼

By Emily Dickinson (1830-1886)


I hide myself within my flower,
That wearing on your breast,
You, unsuspecting, wear me too --
And angels know the rest.


I hide myself within my flower,
That, fading from your vase,
You, unsuspecting, feel for me
Almost a loneliness.

這首詩可以送給朦朧的戀人們，
但更適合送給朝生暮死的花朵。
