It will not always be like this,

天气不会总是像这样，

The air windless, a few last

空气里没有风，几片最后的

Leaves adding their decoration

叶子装点着树的肩膀，用黄金

To the trees’ shoulders, braiding the cuffs

编织树枝的袖口；一只鸟

Of the boughs with gold; a bird preening

在反光的草地上

In the lawn’s mirror. Having looked up

整理羽毛。从一天的杂务中

From the day’s chores, pause a minute,

抬起头，做片刻的停歇，

Let the mind take its photograph

让记忆拍下那明亮景象的

Of the bright scene, something to wear

片段，藉此来抵御

Against the heart in the long cold.

漫漫寒冷中的心。
