Trees

　　(1)

　　I think that I shall never see 我想我從未見過一首

　　A poem lovely as a tree.美如玉樹的詩章。

　　(2)

　　A tree whose hungry mouth is prest 一棵張著饑餓嘴巴的樹，

　　against the earth's sweet flowing breast;緊壓在大地甘美而流暢的乳房上;

　　(3)

　　A tree that looks at God all day，一棵整天望著神的樹，

　　And lifts her leafy arms to pray;舉起枝葉繁茂的手臂來祈禱;

　　(4)

　　A tree that may in summer wear 一棵樹在夏日里可能

　　A nest of robins in her hair;戴著一窩知更鳥在頭發上;

　　(5)

　　Upon whose bosom snow has lain;雪花堆積在她的懷抱里;

　　Who intimately lives with the rain.雨水也和她親切地生活在一起。

　　(6)

　　Poems are made by fools like me，像我這樣愚笨的人可以做詩，

　　But only God can make a tree.但唯有神方能造樹。

　　by Joyce Kilmer， 1886-1919
