  Sundays too my father got up early

  and put his clothes on in the blueblack cold,

  then with cracked hands that ached

  from labor in the weekday weather made

  banked fires blaze. No one ever thanked him.


  I'd wake and hear the cold splintering, breaking.

  When the rooms were warm, he'd call,

  and slowly I would rise and dress,

  fearing the chronic angers of that house,


  Speaking indifferently to him,

  who had driven out the cold

  and polished my good shoes as well.

  What did I know, what did I know

  of love's austere and lonely offices?

诗歌欣赏 冬天的星期日(罗伯特-海顿)

  星期天父亲也起得很早,

  在灰蒙蒙的寒意中穿上衣服,然后用平日风霜中劳动

  而疼痛龟裂的双手

  挑燃余火。没人感谢过他。


  我会醒来听到寒冷碎裂,崩解。

  等室内暖和,他便呼唤,

  于是我慢条斯理起身穿衣,

  害怕那屋子里惯有的愤怒,


  漫不经心和他说话,

  他已驱走了寒意

  也擦亮了我的好鞋。

  我何曾知道,何曾知道

  慈爱的严肃和孤寂的职责?
