Lord: it is time. The summer was immense.
我主,是时候了。我们已消受盛夏炎炎,
Lay your shadow on the sundials
投你的影子于日晷,
and let loose the wind in the fields.
放出风,让它纵蹄原野。
Bid the last fruits to be full;
让最后的果实成熟;
give them another two more southerly days,
再给它们两天南方的日光,
press them to ripeness, and chase
催它们丰润完美,
the last sweetness into the heavy wine.
把最后的甜蜜驱入肥硕葡萄的浆。
Whoever has no house now will not build one anymore.
无家的人将长流浪。
Whoever is alone now will remain so for a long time,
孤独的人将长寂寞,
will stay up, read, write long letters,
读书、写信将伴无眠,
and wander the avenues, up and down,
也将踯躅
restlessly, while the leaves are blowing.
林荫道上,当叶儿飘落。
