《树》by 基尔默

树  乔埃斯·基尔默  林木译

 

我想我永远见不到

一首诗像树一样可爱

一棵树，它饥渴的嘴紧贴

在大地甘甜流淌的乳房

 

一棵树整日仰望上帝

举起它多叶的手臂祈祷

一棵树夏日里可能

在它的发中佩戴知更鸟的巢

胸口上躺过雪

它与雨的生活亲蜜无间

愚钝如我创作诗

但只有上帝才能创造一棵树

 

Tree

/JOYCE  KILMER 

      

I think that I shall never see

A poem as lovely as a tree

A tree whose hungry mouth is prest

Against the earth’s sweet flowing breast

 

A tree that looks at God all day

And lifts her leafy arms to pray

A tree that may in summer wear

A nest of robins in her hair

Upon where bosom snow has lain

Who intimately lives with rain

Poems are made by fool like me

But only God can make a tree

[LinMu]
