Robert Frost
Spades l take up leaves
No better than spoons,
And bags full ofleaves
Are light as balloons.
I make a great noise
Of rustling 2 all day
Like rabbit and deer
Running away.
But the mountains I raise
Elude 3 my embrace,
Flowing over my arms
And into my face.
Imayload andunload
Again and again
Till I fill the whole shed 4,
And what have I then?
Next to nothing for weight,
And since they grew duller
From contact with earth,
Next to nothing for color.
Next to nothing for use,
But a crop is a crop,
And who's to say where
The harvest shall stop?

用鐵鍬收集樹葉
不比調羹順手,
裝滿了樹葉的口袋
輕得像是氣球。
我弄出很大動靜
整天沙沙作響
就像兔子和鹿
逃走的聲響。
可我堆起的山
讓我無法抱攏,
總漫過我的臂彎
直往我臉上撲。
我能裝了又卸
一遍又一遍
把這整間堆滿,
我會得到什么?
幾乎沒有重量,
由于接觸泥土
愈發(fā)黯淡無光,
幾乎分不出顏色。
幾乎沒啥用處,
但收獲就是收獲,
誰又能說收獲
該在哪里止步?
