我胸中芬芳的草叶，我把你的叶子留下，我写下来，以后再去细读，墓叶，尸叶，长在我的上面，在死亡之上，多年生的根，高大的叶子——哦，冬天不会把你冻住的，娇嫩的叶子，每年你都会重新绽放——从你退去的地方，你会重新出现;啊，我不知道是否有许多过路的人会发现你，或者闻到你那淡淡的气味——但我相信有几个人会的;啊，细长的叶子!啊，我血的花朵!我允许你用你自己的方式来讲述你内心的感受;啊，燃烧和悸动——总有一天，这一切都会完成;啊,我不明白你的意思,自己下面,你不幸福,你比我更苦的能承受,你燃烧,刺痛我,10然而你对我非常漂亮,你faint-tinged根源——你让我想到死亡,死亡是美丽的你——(实际上是最后美丽的,除了死亡和爱?)——啊,我认为这是没有生命我唱我唱的爱好者,我认为它必须死亡,如何冷静,多么庄严的增长,提升爱的气氛,死是生，我无所谓——我的灵魂不肯喜欢，我不敢肯定;但情人的高尚灵魂最欢迎死亡;啊，死神，我现在想，这些树叶的意思和你的意思完全一样;长高些吧，可爱的树叶，让我看看! grow up out of my breast! Spring away from the conceal'd heart there! Do not fold yourself so in your pink-tinged roots, timid leaves! 20 Do not remain down there so ashamed, herbage of my breast! Come, I am determin'd to unbare this broad breast of mine--I have long enough stifled and choked: --Emblematic and capricious blade, I leave you--now you serve me not; Away! I will say what I have to say, by itself, I will escape from the sham that was proposed to me, I will sound myself and comrades only--I will never again utter a call, only their call, I will raise, with it, immortal reverberations through The States, I will give an example to lovers, to take permanent shape and will through The States; Through me shall the words be said to make death exhilarating; Give me your tone therefore, O Death, that I may accord with it, 30 Give me yourself--for I see that you belong to me now above all, and are folded inseparably together--you Love and Death are; Nor will I allow you to balk me any more with what I was calling life, For now it is convey'd to me that you are the purports essential, That you hide in these shifting forms of life, for reasons--and that they are mainly for you, That you, beyond them, come forth, to remain, the real reality, That behind the mask of materials you patiently wait, no matter how long, That you will one day, perhaps, take control of all, That you will perhaps dissipate this entire show of appearance, That may-be you are what it is all for--but it does not last so very long; But you will last very long. 40
