作品:第二个冬天
世上的人们已经不明白,
为何冬天总是让我烦,
现在的冬天越来越短,
都来不及赶鸟儿去它们南方的家。
就仿佛我刚刚回到自己的小窝,
喘口气,还没能好好躺下,
就有小家伙把门敲得砰砰砰,
不用问,肯定是回的最早的霸鹟。
被打断的冬日,意味着仓促的夏天,
也许只有我还记得那一年,
那一年的冬天格外短暂,
所有生物都活得艰难。
接着就来了那场洪水,
将整个世界席卷,
可叹啊,只有我还记得老诺亚,
和他拯救万物的老木船。
The Winters are so short -
I'm hardly justified
In sending all the Birds away -
And moving into Pod -
Myself - for scarcely settled -
The Phoebes have begun -
And then - it's time to strike my Tent -
And open House - again -
It's mostly, interruptions -
My Summer - is despoiled -
Because there was a Winter - once -
And al the Cattle - starved -
And so there was a Deluge -
And swept the World away -
But Ararat's a Legend - now -
And no one credits Noah -
