After A Hundred Years 千古
Emily Dickinson 　艾蜜麗迪金森


After a hundred years 　百年之後
Nobody knows the place 　沒人了解這個地方
Agony that enacted there 　佇立於此的傷痛　就像
Motionless as peace 　安詳一樣的靜止
Weeds triumphant ranged 　雜草征服了遍野
Strangers strolled and spelled 　陌生的人們
At the lone orthography 　在逝者工整的銘文之間
Of the elder dead. 　游走推敲
Winds of summer fields 　夏原熏風
Recollect the way—— 　重溫舊夢
Instinct picking up the key 　直覺就這樣拾起
Dropped by memory——　被記憶遺落的鑰匙
