海邊

孩子們會(huì)集在無(wú)邊無(wú)際的世界的海邊。

無(wú)垠的天穹靜止地臨于頭上，不息的海水在足下洶涌。孩子們會(huì)集在無(wú)邊無(wú)際的世界的海邊，叫著，跳著。

他們拿沙來(lái)建筑房屋，拿貝殼來(lái)做游戲。他們把落葉編成了船，笑嘻嘻地把它們放到大海上。孩子們?cè)谑澜绲暮＿?，做他們的游戲?/p>

他們不知道怎樣泅水，他們不知道怎樣撒網(wǎng)。采珠的人為了珠潛水，商人們?cè)谒麄兊拇虾叫?，孩子們卻只把小圓石聚了又散。他們不搜求寶藏；他們不知道怎樣撒網(wǎng)。

大海嘩笑著涌起波浪，而海灘的微笑蕩漾著淡淡的光芒。致人死命的波濤，對(duì)著孩子們唱無(wú)意義的歌曲，就像一個(gè)母親在搖動(dòng)她孩子的搖籃時(shí)一樣。大海和孩子們一同游戲，而海灘的微笑蕩漾著淡淡的光芒。

孩子們會(huì)集在無(wú)邊無(wú)際的世界的海邊。狂風(fēng)暴雨飄游在無(wú)轍跡的天空上，航船沉碎在無(wú)轍跡的海水里，死正在外面活動(dòng)，孩子們卻在游戲。在無(wú)邊無(wú)際的世界的海邊，孩子們大會(huì)集著。

ON THE SEASHORE

ON the seashore of endless worlds children meet.

The infinite sky is motionless overhead and the restless water isboisterous.On the seashore of endless worlds the children meetwith shouts and dances.

They build their houses with sand,and they play with emptyshells.With withered leaves they weave their boats and smilinglyfloat them on the vast deep.Children have their play on theseashore of worlds.

They know not how to swim,they know not how to cast nets.Pearl-fishers dive for pearls,merchants sail in their ships,whilechildren gather pebbles and scatter them again.They seek notfor hidden treasures,they know not how to cast nets.

The sea surges up with laughter,and pale gleams the smile ofthe sea-beach.Death-dealing waves sing meaningless ballads tothe children,even like amother while rocking her baby’s cradle.The sea plays with children,and pale gleams the smile of the sea-beach.

On the seashore of endless worlds children meet.Tempestroams in the pathless sky,ships are wrecked in the tracklesswater,death is abroad and children play.On the seashore ofendless worlds is the great meeting of children.
