THE TOMB BED
- by 顾城

I know the ever-lapse's befalling, yet no sadness
My wishes are placed in the pine woods
There's a sea below, from afar it looks like a pond
Bit by bit following me is the afternoon sunlight

Human hours deprive, yet human lives are very long
I ought to take breaks within
The ones passed say the tree branches lowered
The ones passed say the tree branches are growing


墓　　　床
顾城

我知道永逝降临，并不悲伤
松林中安放着我的愿望
下边有海，远看像水池
一点点跟我的是下午的阳光

人时已尽，人世很长
我在中间应当休息
走过的人说树枝低了
走过的人说树枝在长
