Trees

　　 I think that I shall J.Kilmernever see

　　 A poem 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 whose bosom snow has lain;

　　 Who intimately lives with the rain.

　　 Poems are made by fools like me,

　　 But only God can make a tree.

　　 树

　　 我想我从未见过一首

　　 美如玉树的诗章。

　　 一棵张着饥饿嘴巴的树,

　　 紧压在大地甘美而流畅的乳房上;

　　 一棵整天望着神的树,

　　 举起枝叶繁茂的手臂来祈祷;

　　 一棵树在夏日里可能

　　 戴着一窝知更鸟在头发上;

　　 雪花堆积在她的怀抱里;

　　 雨水也和她亲切地生活在一起。

　　 像我这样愚笨的人可以做诗,

　　 但唯有神方能造树。
