秋

作者：艾青

雾的季节来了——
无厌止的雨又徘徊在
收割后的田野上……
那里，翻耕过的田亩的泥黑
与遗落的谷粒所长出的新苗的绿色
缀成了广大，阴暗，多变化的平面；
而深秋的访问者——无厌止的雨
就徘徊在它的上面……
人们都开始蛰伏到
那些浓黑的屋檐里去了，
只有两匹鬃毛已淋湿的褐色的马，
慢慢地走向地平线
搜索着田野的最后的绿色……

1939年秋，湖南


AUTUMN

WR. by Aiqing
TR. by Yuanmei

Here the fog season comes --
Again the ceaseless rain lingers
In the paddy fields after harvest...
There the black earth in the ploughed land
And the green seedlings fallen grains sprout
Make up an extensive, gloomy and varied plane
When late autumn visitor -- the ceaseless rain
Happens to linger above it...
People start to hide themselves
In the eave shadows
Only two soaked brown horses
Slowly walk to the horizon
To search for the last green of the fields...

(In Hunan; Autumn, 1939)
