崔涂: 孤雁/ Cui Tu: A SOLITARY WILDGOOSE

孤雁

崔涂

几行归塞尽, 片影独何之?

暮雨相呼失, 寒塘欲下迟。

渚云低暗渡, 关月冷相随。

未必逢矰缴, 孤飞自可疑。

 

A SOLITARY WILDGOOSE

Cui Tu

Line after line has flown back over the border.

Where are you headed all by yourself?

In the evening rain you call to them --

And slowly you alight on an icy pond.

The low wet clouds move faster than you

Along the wall toward the cold moon.

...If they caught you in a net or with a shot,

Would it be worse than flying alone?
