---by Shulamith Levey Oppenheim Where do I end and you begin? Asked the cat of its tail, Asked the shell of the snail. Where do I end and you begin? Asked the branch of the tree, Asked the sky of the sea. Where do I end and you begin? Asked the song of the bird, Asked the phrase of the word. Where do I end and you begin? Asked the rain of the bow, Asked the flake of the snow. Where do I end and you begin? Asked the smell of the flower, Asked the rose of its bower. Where do I end and you begin? Asked the jump of the rope, Asked the hill of the slope. WELL, I know where the sky meets the end of the sea, I know where the branch meets the trunk of the tree, I know where the flower meets the buzz of the bee, And I know, when we hug— That's the place you meet me! 哪里是我结束你开始的地方? 哪里是我结束你开始的地方? 问问猫的尾巴, 问问蜗牛的壳。 哪里是我结束你开始的地方? 问问树的枝丫, 问问大海的天空。 哪里是我结束你开始的地方? 问问鸟儿的歌声, 问问词汇的短语。 哪里是我结束你开始的地方? 问问雨的彩虹, 问问雪的花瓣。 哪里是我结束你开始的地方? 问问花的芬芳, 问问阴凉处的玫瑰。 哪里是我结束你开始的地方? 问问跳动的绳索, 问问山丘的斜坡。 对了, 我知道天空在哪里接触海的尽头, 我知道树枝在哪里连接树桩, 我知道花朵在哪里迎来蜜蜂的鸣响, 我还知道,我们拥抱之时—— 就是你遇见我的地方!
