花木, 偶匆匆一译, 抛砖引玉. 
要么, 再换一首? :)
THE HOME
Rabindranath Tagore
家
泰戈尔
I PACED alone on the road across the field while the sunset was hiding its last gold like a miser.
当夕阳象个守财奴, 收藏起最后一缕金色时, 我穿越原野在路上踽踽独行.
The daylight sank deeper and deeper into the darkness, and the widowed land, whose harvest had been reaped, lay silent.
日光渐渐沉入黑暗深处, 荒芜的土地, 经过丰收的收获, 静静地躺着.
Suddenly a boy's shrill voice rose into the sky. He traversed the dark unseen, leaving the track of his song across the hush of the evening.
突然, 一个男孩的刺耳尖叫升入空中. 他在重重暗夜中穿行, 留他歌声之痕划破夜的静寂.
His village home lay there at the end of the waste land, beyond the sugar-cane field, hidden among the shadows of the banana and the slender areca palm, the cocoa-nut and the dark green jack-fruit trees.
他的村屋座落在荒地尽处, 甘庶田之外, 隐藏在香蕉树,纤细的槟榔树, 椰子树, 和深绿的波罗蜜树的影子里.
I stopped for a moment in my lonely way under the starlight, and saw spread before me the darkened earth surrounding with her arms countless homes furnished with cradles and beds, mothers' hearts and evening lamps, and young lives glad with a gladness that knows nothing of its value for the world.
在星光下, 我在寂寞的路上驻足片刻, 看到我面前伸展着一片黑暗的土地, 用她的手臂环绕着无数的家, 那些家里有摇篮, 床, 母亲的心, 夜晚的灯, 还有年轻的生命, 他们欢乐, 却毫不知道这欢乐对世界的的价值.
