随着岁月的流逝，
我的心渐渐地充实。
现在应酬少了，
不用像年轻的时候，
与每一个来访的人分享我自己。
心里有什么话，
也不用再把它说出来。
他们来了，走了，
都是一样的。
只要我自立，自强，
还拥有力量。
在一个夏夜爬上山巅，
看成群的星星朝我涌来。

让他们相信，
我爱，
比我做的更多。
让他们相信，
我在意，
尽管我一个人走。
假如这让他们更骄傲，
也没什么了不起，
我还是完整的，
像一朵花或一块石头。

The Solitary
My heart has grown rich with the passing of years
I have less need now than when I was young
To share myself with every comer
Or shape my thoughts into words with my tongue
It is one to me that they come or go
If I have myself and the drive of my will
And strength to climb on a summer night
And watch the stars swarm over the hill
Let them think I love them more than I do
Let them think I care, though I go alone
If it lifts their pride, what is it to me
Who am self-complete as a flower or a stone.
