草地里细长的小家伙,
偶然游曳而过。
也许你曾和他相遇,
也许太快,你未及留意。
无形的细浪分开草丛,
隐约的斑纹闪烁其中,
有什么爬过你的脚背?
一刹那就不见行踪。
他喜欢潮湿的沼泽,
喜欢阴冷的角落,
阳光会让他摊开身体——
仿佛解开紧缠的绳索。
看,一个赤脚的孩子走来,
想要把这“绳索”拾起,
而他立刻化作一道涟漪,
转眼绝尘而去。
我认识许多大自然的孩子,
就像熟悉的朋友,
每当想起他们,
便会满心欢喜。
而这草丛里的小家伙,
却总是独来独往,
伴随他的只有轻微的悉索,
只有透骨的冰凉。
A narrow Fellow in the Grass
Occasionally rides -
You may have met Him - did you not
His notice sudden is -
The Grass divides as with a Comb -
A spotted shaft is seen -
And then it closes at your feet
And opens further on -
He likes a Boggy Acre
A Floor too cool for Corn -
Yet when a Boy,and Barefoot -
I more than once at Noon
Have passed,I thought,a Whip lash
Unbraiding in the Sun
When stooping to secure it
It wrinkled,and was gone -
Several of Nature's People
I know,and they know me -
I feel for them a transport
Of cordiality -
But never met this Fellow
Attended, or alone
Without a tighter breathing
And Zero at the Bone -
