風信子

寧靜的夜晚
你的清香﹐是一支夜曲
如此優雅﹑動聽
如一泓山谷的泉水

冰雪退回了北極
嚴冬藏進自己的窟墟
風在枝干搖曳
月光下﹐草虫低鳴

盤于泥土的根莖
稚芽沖破剛解凍的大地
一錐錐﹑一簇簇
天青的紫﹐祖母綠

你如風的名字
喚醒我徹夜難眠的詩情
夜空﹐三兩聲候鳥
把你從夢中驚醒

堇菜的紫﹐暮山青
卻不比你的質地
牽牛花﹐一朵深淵色
深不過你的芬馨

你是春天的信使
“光之子”
我用什么來把你比擬﹖
星河漫天傾……

張開紫露的眼睛
給春天帶來第一陣驚喜
你匆匆的生命
開放得如此有生機

象妙齡的青春少女
只為如意的郎君
乘早播散下生命的種子
含笑歸守大地

那天写《金刚石》，在月光下揣摩词句，闻到了风信子的香。这是今
年头一个暖风的夜，我止不住思绪，也拟一首诗。

因为结构上不甚连贯，我参考了EMILY BRONTE的风信子：

The Blue Bell

The blue bell is the sweetest flower
That waves in summer air;
Its blossoms have the mightiest power
To soothe my spirit's care.

There is a spell in purple heath
Too wildly, sadly dear;
The violet has a fragrant breath
But fragrance will not cheer.

The trees are bare, the sun is cold;
And seldom, seldom seen;
The heavens have lost their zone of gold
The earth its robe of green;

And ice upon the glancing stream
Has cast its sombre shade
And distant hills and valleys seem
In frozen mist arrayed -

The blue bell cannot charm me now
The heath has lost its bloom,
The violets in the glen below
They yield no sweet perfume.

But though I mourn the heather-bell
'Tis better far, away;
I know how fast my tears would swell
To see it smile today;

And that wood flower that hides so shy
Beneath the mossy stone
Its balmy scent and dewy eye:
'Tis not for them I moan.

It is the slight and stately stem,
The blossom's silvery blue,
The buds hid like a sapphire gem
In sheaths of emerald hue.

'Tis these that breathe upon my heart
A calm and softening spell
That if it makes the tear-drop start
Has power to soothe as well.

For these I weep, so long divided
Through winter's dreary day,
In longing weep--but most when guided
On withered banks to stray.

If chilly then the light should fall
Adown the dreary sky
And gild the dank and darkened wall
With transient brilliancy,

How do I yearn, how do I pine
For the time of flowers to come,
And turn me from that fading shine
To mourn the fields of home -

她的诗跨季节，有泪有韵。我只能是此情此景。

The Bluebell in England is a totally different plant from a totally different family.
