MY Life Closed Twice before Its Close
by Emily Dickinson

MY life closed twice before its close;
It yet remains to see
If Immortality unveil
A third event to me,

So huge, so hopeless to conceive,
As these that twice befell.
Parting is all we know of heaven,
And all we need of hell.

我的生命结束前已结束过两次
狄金森 著 
江枫 译

我的生命结束前已结束过两次；
它还要等着看
永恒是否会向我展示
第三次事件。

象前两次一样重大
一样，令人心灰望绝。
离别，是我们对天堂体验的全部，
对地狱短缺的一切。
