Saying Good-bye to Cambridge Again --- by Xu Zhimo

　　再別康橋 徐志摩

　　Very quietly I take my leave

　　As quietly as I came here;

　　Quietly I wave good-bye

　　To the rosy clouds in the western sky.

　　The golden willows by the riverside

　　Are young brides in the setting sun;

　　Their reflections on the shimmering waves

　　Always linger in the depth of my heart.

　　The floatingheart growing in the sludge

　　Sways leisurely under the water;

　　In the gentle waves of Cambridge

　　I would be a water plant!

　　That pool under the shade of elm trees

　　Holds not water but the rainbow from the sky;

　　Shattered to pieces among the duckweeds

　　Is the sediment of a rainbow-like dream?

　　To seek a dream? Just to pole a boat upstream

　　To where the green grass is more verdant;

　　Or to have the boat fully loaded with starlight

　　And sing aloud in the splendour of starlight.

　　But I cannot sing aloud

　　Quietness is my farewell music;

　　Even summer insects heep silence for me

　　Silent is Cambridge tonight!

　　Very quietly I take my leave

　　As quietly as I came here;

　　Gently I flick my sleeves

　　Not even a wisp of cloud will I bring away

　　輕輕的我走了，

　　正如我輕輕的來；

　　我輕輕的招手，

　　作別西天的云彩，

　　那河畔的金柳

　　是夕陽中的新娘

　　波光里的艷影，

　　在我的心頭蕩漾。

　　軟泥上的青荇，

　　油油的在水底招搖；

　　在康河的柔波里，

　　我甘心做一條水草

　　那榆蔭下的一潭，

　　不是清泉，是天上虹

　　揉碎在浮藻間，

　　沉淀著彩虹似的夢。

　　尋夢？ 撐一支長篙，

　　向青草更青處漫溯，

　　滿載一船星輝，

　　在星輝斑斕里放歌

　　但我不能放歌，

　　悄悄是別離的笙簫；

　　夏蟲也為我沉默，

　　沉默是今晚的康橋！

　　悄悄的我走了，

　　正如我悄悄的來；

　　我揮一揮衣袖，

　　不帶走一片云彩。
