Trees (Joyce Kilmer 1913)




I think that I shall never 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 rain.


Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree.





《树》（美·Kilmer)自由体翻译


依我看诗永远不会
像树那么美丽


看它用饥饿的嘴紧贴着
有流着甜甜乳汁胸脯的大地


看它从早到晚仰视着上苍
祈祷时伸出带叶子的手臂


到夏天一窝知更鸟可能
会长在它的头发里


它的怀抱里曾躺过雪
也亲密地接触着雨


我这种傻瓜可以写写诗
造出树来只能靠上帝 6park.com

诗歌永不会
像树般美丽
饥嘴紧紧贴
清甜乳胸地
早晚仰苍天
祈祷伸双臂
夏天一窝鸟
长它头发里
怀里躺过雪
胸中接着雨
凡人可作诗
造树靠上帝 6park.com
