海伦·米伦 |《告别》

【诗歌原文】
Farewell
I have got my leave. Bid me farewell, my brothers!
I bow to you all and take my departure.
Here I give back the keys of my door
—and I give up all claims to my house.
I only ask for last kind words from you.
We were neighbors for long,
but I received more than I could give.
Now the day has dawned
and the lamp that lit my dark corner is out.
A summons has come and I am ready for my journey.
【诗歌译文】
《告别》
我走了，祝福我吧，弟兄们！
我向你们鞠了躬，就要启程出发。
现在我把门上的钥匙归还——并且放弃我房子的所有权。
我只想要你们最后的几句好话
我们做过很久的邻居，
但是我收获的比付出多。
现在黎明破晓，点亮黑暗屋角的灯熄灭了。
召唤已来，而我已经准备好出发。
