如果回憶即遺忘

艾米莉·狄金森

If recollecting were forgetting，

Then I remember not.

And if forgetting， recollecting，

How near I had forgot.

And if to miss， were merry，

And to mourn， were gay，

How very blithe the fingers，

That gathered this， Today！

如果回憶即遺忘，

我情愿記不起。

如果遺忘即回憶，

我已近乎遺忘。

如果思念是愉快的，

如果哀悼是歡樂的，

這雙手該多么歡快，

因今日將哀思采擷！
