釋文：

你是一顆隱藏在山後的星星，我是路上的行人。  

You are hidden as a star behind the hills, and I am passer-by upon the road.

R. Tagore, Gardener 19

原文如下：

19
You walked by the riverside path with the full pitcher upon your hip.
你走在河邊小路上，腰間帶著滿滿的水壺。
 
Why did you swiftly turn your face and peep at me through your fluttering veil?
你為什麼快速轉頭透過飄動的面紗偷看我？
 
That gleaming look from the dark came upon me like a breeze that sends a shiver through the rippling water and sweeps away to the shadowy shore.
那從黑暗中投來的一瞥像一陣微風掠過水面漾起漣漪掃到岸邊去。
 
It came to me like the bird of the evening that hurriedly flies across the lampless room from the one open window to the other, and disappears in the night.
它衝我而來，像一隻夜鳥匆匆穿過無燈的房間，從一個空窗飛到另一個空窗，消失在黑暗中。
 
You are hidden as a star behind the hills, and I am passer-by upon the road.
你是一顆隱藏在山後的星星，而我是路上的行人。
 
But why did you stop for a moment and glance at my face through your veil while you walked by the riverside path with the full pitcher upon your hip
但是為什麼你要停下腳步，透過你的面紗，往我臉上投來一瞥，當你腰間帶著滿滿的水壺，走過河邊小路的時候？

 

 

靈感經常以各種不同的神秘方式意外地出現在藝術家的心中，有時像害羞的少女，有時像｢隱藏的星星｣。

 克羅齊（B. Croce）認為：一個人心中有靈感的時候，就已經創作完成了；其餘的工作只是技巧而已；靈感就是創作本身，而不是創作的工具。

 ｢隱藏的星星｣似有若無，象徵詩人想像力之豐富；取水的少女象徵詩人對人間的關懷和敏銳的觀察；｢黑暗｣中的｢一瞥｣象徵詩人創造力之巧妙，這一瞥就是促成這首詩之靈感。
