A messenger's knock cracks smartly, Flashed news in her hand Of meaning it dazes to understand Though shaped so shortly: He—he has fallen—in the far South Land… II 'Tis the morrow; the fog hangs thicker, The postman nears and goes: A letter is brought whose lines disclose By the firelight flicker His hand, whom the worm now knows: Fresh—firm—penned in highest feather— Page-full of his hoped return, And of home-planned jaunts of brake and burn In the summer weather, And of new love that they would learn.

敲门声清晰响亮，送信人把急电交到她手上。电文内容虽然简短，却使她猛一下眩晕倘恍：他——在南方遥远的土地上——阵亡……第二天清晨大雾更浓，邮递员送信来去匆匆。闪闪的炉火照着一封家书，字字行行都是他亲笔写出，而那只手呀，此刻已有蛆虫光顾。墨迹犹新，字体坚实，意气昂扬，满篇都倾诉他渴望还乡：他打算就在明朗的夏天，徜徉在故乡的溪畔林间，他们要把爱情重新体验。张玲张扬译
