When I sit on my balcony and listen for his footsteps; leaves do not rustle on the trees; and the water is still in the river like the sword on the knees of a sentry fallen asleep。

It is my own heart that beats wildly—I do not know how to quiet it。

When my love es and sits by my side; when my body trembles and my eyelids droop; the night darkens; the wind blows out the lamp; and the clouds draw veils over the stars。

It is the jewel at my own breast that shines and gives light。 I do not know how to hide it。

The Gardener  10

园丁集  第九章(2)

Let your work be; bride。 Listen; the guest has e。

Do you hear; he is gently shaking the chain which fastens the door?

See that your anklets make no loud noise; and that your step is not over…hurried at meeting him。

Let your work be; bride; the guest has e in the evening。

No; it is not the ghostly wind; bride; do not be frightened。

It is the full moon on a night of April; shadows are pale in the courtyard; the sky overhead is bright。

Draw your veil over your face if you must; carry the lamp to the door if you fear。

No; it is not the ghostly wind; bride; do not be frightened。

Have no word with him if you are shy; stand aside by the door when you meet him。

If he asks you questions; and if you wish to; you can lower your eyes in silence。

Do not let your bracelets jingle when; lamp in hand; you lead him in。

Have no word with him if you are shy。

Have you not finished your work yet; bride? Listen; the guest has e。

Have you not lit the lamp in the cowshed?

Have you not got ready the offering basket for the evening service?

Have you not put the red lucky mark at the parting of your hair; and done your toilet for the night?

O bride; do you hear; the guest has e?

Let your work be!

The Gardener  11

e as you are; do not loiter over your toilet。

If your braided hair has loosened; if the parting of your hair be not straight; if the ribbons of your bodice be not fastened; do not mind。

e as you are; do not loiter over your toilet。

e; with quick steps over the grass。

If the raddle e from your feet because of the dew; if the rings of bells upon your feet slacken; if pearls drop out of your chain; do not mind。

e,with quick steps over the grass。

Do you see the clouds wrapping the sky?

Flocks of cranes fly up from the further river…bank and fitful gusts of wind rush over the heath。

The anxious cattle run to their stalls in the village。

Do you see the clouds wrapping the sky?

In vain you light your toilet lamp—it flickers and goes out in the wind。

Who can know that your eyelids have not been touched with lamp…black? For your eyes are darker than rain…clouds。

In vain you light your toilet lamp—it goes out。

e as you are; do not loiter over your toilet。

If the wreath is not woven; who cares; if the wrist…chain has not been linked; let it be。
