It will not always be like this,

不会永远这样：

The air windless, a few last

没有风，最后的几片

Leaves adding their decoration

叶子为树的肩膀

To the trees’ shoulders, braiding the cuffs

添上勋章，为树枝的袖口

Of the boughs with gold; a bird preening

添上金黄色；一只鸟儿

In the lawn’s mirror. Having looked up

在草地的镜子中精心装扮着。

From the day’s chores, pause a minute,

从白天的杂务中抬起头来，停上一会儿，

Let the mind take its photograph

让心为这明亮的景色

Of the bright scene, something to wear

拍下照片，藉着它

Against the heart in the long cold.

抵御漫漫寒冬中的心。
