Leaves

Sarah Teasdale

One by one, like leaves from a tree
All my faiths have forsaken me;
But the stars above my head
Burn in white and delicate red,
And beneath my feet the earth
Brings the sturdy grass to birth.
I who was content to be
But a silken-singing tree,
But a rustle of delight
In the wistful heart of night--
I have lost the leaves that knew
Touch of rain and weight of dew.
Blinded by a leafy crown
I looked neither up nor down--
But the little leaves that die
Have left me room to see the sky;
Now for the first time I know
Stars above and earth below.


叶子

一个接一个，如凋落枝头的叶子，
所有信仰都已将我遗弃；
头顶的星星
闪耀炽热柔和的红，
脚底的大地
赋顽强的草儿以生机。
我，曾不过满足于
做一棵温柔歌唱的树木，
发一阵愉快的沙沙声响
于忧伤的夜之心房——
我失去了那些叶子，它们曾谙
雨的抚触，露的沉甸。
受茂叶皇冠之蒙蔽，
我曾望不到天触不着地——
但那些凋零的叶子
却给予了我观望天宇的空隙；
而今我终第一次见识
上之星星，下之大地。
