Leaves

Sarah Teasdale

One by one, like leaves from a tree

All my faiths have forsaken me;

But the stars above my head

Burn in white and delicate red,

And beneath my feet the earth

Brings the sturdy grass to birth.

I who was content to be

But a silken-singing tree,

But a rustle of delight

In the wistful heart of night--

I have lost the leaves that knew

Touch of rain and weight of dew.

Blinded by a leafy crown

I looked neither up nor down--

But the little leaves that die

Have left me room to see the sky;

Now for the first time I know

Stars above and earth below.

叶子

翻译：苑眉

一个接一个，如凋落枝头的叶子，

所有信仰都已将我遗弃；

头顶的星星

闪耀炽热柔和的红，

脚底的大地

赋顽强的草儿以生机。

我，曾不过满足于

做一棵温柔歌唱的树木，

发一阵愉快的沙沙声响，

于忧伤的夜之心房——

我失去了那些叶子，它们曾谙

雨的抚触，露的沉甸。

受茂叶皇冠之蒙蔽，

我曾望不到天触不着地——

但那些凋零的叶子

却给予了我观望天宇的空隙；

而今我终第一次见识

上之星星，下之大地。
