第一次读到Sara Teasdale的诗歌,谢谢你美妙的翻译和精美的配图。

Stars by Sara Teasdale

Alone in the night
On a dark hill
With pines around me
Spicy and still,

And a heaven full of stars
Over my head,
White and topaz
And misty red;

Myriads with beating
Hearts of fire
That aeons
Cannot vex or tire;

Up the dome of heaven
Like a great hill,
I watch them marching
Stately and still,
And I know that I
Am honored to be
Witness
Of so much majesty.



There Will Come Soft Rains by Sara Teasdale

There will come soft rains and the smell of the ground,
And swallows circling with their shimmering sound;

And frogs in the pool singing at night,
And wild plum trees in tremulous white;

Robins will wear their feathery fire,
Whistling their whims on a low fence-wire;

And not one will know of the war, not one
Will care at last when it is done.

Not one would mind, neither bird nor tree,
If mankind perished utterly;

And Spring herself when she woke at dawn
Would scarcely know that we were gone.

湘西山民, 我还是第一次读到Sara Teasdale的诗歌，好喜欢，谢谢你美妙的翻译和精美的配图。我刚刚在YouTube上找到了她的《There Will Come Soft Rains 》和《Stars》，一并和你分享，也许你已经读过她的这两首诗歌了。

所有跟帖：
