【Morning Bell】

Carl Spitteler (1845—1924)

〖Nobel Prize in Literature in 1919〗

       It seemed as though the dawn would never come

       To save me from the night's delirium,

       Those hells of thought I wandered in - who schooled

       My brain at other times, and strictly ruled

       It's every motion. Fever now was king;

       My spirit groped, a shuddering helpless thing,

       Through labyrinths of dreams no pause, no rest,

       The Furies' prey, disarmed and dispossessed.

       Hark! Through the lightless gloom, the black dismay,

       A distant bell-note throbs... Deliverance! Day!

       Young life, young faith breathes "I." And soft and clear

       Whispers the morning-dream of human cheer.

【《女歌手》】

勇王•施皮特勒(1845生—1924卒)

〖1919年诺贝尔文学奖〗

                梦幻中，

                一群朝圣的善男信女，

                甜美的歌儿齐声高唱，

                手携着手，

                在我家乡行走。

                我虔诚地

                跟随在他们的最后头。

                合唱声委婉协调，

                忽从望不见的尽头，

                一阕清新活泼的歌，

                在空中回荡。

                响亮的歌声像黄金一般，

                光彩夺目，

                把远方的峰峦峡谷照耀。

                只可惜，

                矫揉造作，不合节拍不入调。

                这奇异的歌声，

                悦耳，虔诚，

                又那样虚无缥缈。

                我心戚戚，

                恨意难消，

                身带家乡的风尘，

                决意和那歌声分道扬镳！
