Trees
Translated by Shine
I THINK that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree.
我想我应该从未见过
如树木般优美的诗篇
A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the earth's sweet flowing breast;
一棵树,张着饥渴待哺小嘴
依偎着大地流淌甘汁的乳房
A tree that looks at God all day,
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;
一棵树,整天仰望注视着苍天
高擎枝叶茂盛的树臂向天祈祷
A tree that may in Summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair;
一颗树,或许会在盛夏
发髻里戴满知更鸟的巢
Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.
积雪躺在她胸怀上
雨水和她如此亲密
Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree.
愚人如我作出这些拙诗劣句
而只有上帝才能够创造树木 |
