Sara Teasdale - War Time 汉译

And swallows circling with their shimmering sound;

And frogs in the pools singing at night,

And wild plum-trees in tremulous white.

Robins will wear their feathery fire

Whistling their whims on a low-fence-wire;

And not one will know of the war, not one

Will care at last when it is done.

Not one would mind, neither bird nor tree,

If mankind perished utterly;

And spring herself, when she woke at dawn

Would scarcely know that we were gone.

战时

萨拉·梯斯黛尔

将会有细雨和大地的气息，

有盘旋的呢喃燕子在闪断后；

水塘里将满是夜啼的青蛙，

野李树将颤动着满枝白花。

知更鸟的毛羽像火焰一样，

将在低围栏上任情地歌唱；

到头来，等这一场战争结束，

对这事没谁会知道、会在乎。

哪怕是全人类已消灭殆尽，

鸟和树都不会为此而操心；

待拂晓时春之神一觉醒来，

她几乎不知道我们已不在。
