席慕蓉《一棵开花的树》

May Buddha let us meet in my most beautiful hours,
如何让你遇见我，在我最美丽的时刻

I have prayed for it for five hundred years.
为这我已在佛前求了五百年

Buddha made me a tree
佛于是把我化做一棵树

By the path you may take.
长在你必经的路旁

In full blossoms I'm waiting in the sun
阳光下慎重地开满了花

Every flower carrying my previous hope.
朵朵都是我前世的盼望

As you are near,
当你走近

Listen carefully
请你细听

The quivering leaves are my waiting zeal,
颤抖的叶是我等待的热情

As you pass by the tree without noticing me.
而你终于无视地走过

My friend,
朋友啊，

Upon the ground behind you
在你身后落了一地的

Is not the fallen petals
那不是花瓣

But my withered heart.
是我凋零的心
