而李、马的这几行绝妙的白描又与艾米利▪迪金森的下面几行诗极相似：

I take a flower as I go

My face to justify

He never saw me in this life

I might surprise his eye

I cross the hall with mingled steps

I silenily pass the door 

I look on all this world contains —

Just his fare — nothing more!

3首诗都描摹一位少女遇到陌生人（或意中人？）时惴惴不安的举止和心理，三首诗都用了一些字面上很相似的用语，如“行又羞”，“和羞走”，“I cross the hall with mingled stepn”；“厌地回身”，“倚门回首 ”，“I silently pass the door”，“却把青梅嗅”，“I take a flower as I go”等。就狄金森诗的内容和形式来看，都与李、马词曲相仿佛，所以我们不妨摹拟松短句试译如下：

行行，摘娇花一朵在手，

欲人见，花面或相侍。

平生未曾邂逅。

相遇，恐令他色变惊眸。

过厅堂，和羞走。

悄声儿穿过门首，

抬头望，惟见君颜——

伸延遍宇宙！
