【The Soul of the Sunflower (1881)】

Sarah Orne Jewett (1849—1909)

                 The warm sun kissed the earth

                 To consecrate thy birth,

                 And from his close embrace

                 Thy radiant face

                 Sprang into sight,

                 A blossoming delight.

                 Through the long summer days

                 Thy lover's burning rays

                 Shone hot upon thy heart.

                 Thy life was part

                 Of his desire,

                 Thou passion-flower of fire!

                 And, turning toward his love,

                 Lifting thy head above

                 The earth that nurtured thee,

                 Thy majesty

                 And stately mien

                 Proclaims thee sun-crowned queen.

                 On earth, thy gorgeous bloom

                 Bears record of thy tomb,

                 And to transcendent light

                 Thy soul takes flight

                 Till thou art one,

                 O sunflower, with the sun!

【《向日葵的靈魂》(1881年)】

(美國)莎拉·奧恩·朱厄特“公主·吹號者·青春”

(1849生—1909卒)

                和煦的太陽親吻大地

                你應時而生，

                他親密擁抱

                你臉上灑滿陽光

                眼前突現

                盛開的喜悅。

                穿過漫長的夏日

                你情人的炙熱光芒

                照耀着你的心。

                你生活的一部分

                是他的願望，

                你迸發出如火的熱情！

                並且，你接受他的愛，

                抬頭轉向

                養育你的大地，

                陛下

                及其尊容

                宣告你是太陽加冕的女王。

                蒼穹下，你華麗綻放

                承載生命的力量，

                超越時光

                你的靈魂飛翔

                直到合二為一，

                哦向日葵，和太陽一起！
