《The Death Of The Flowers》（花之殒）

作者：威廉·卡伦·布莱恩特 William Cullen Bryant（美国早期浪漫主义诗人）

<开篇>

The melancholy days are come，the saddest of the year,
凄清秋日已然降临，一年中最伤感的时节，

Of wailing winds, and naked woods, and meadows brown and sear.
悲风呜咽，林木疏秃，原野焦黄枯竭。

Heaped in the hollows of the grove, the withered leaves lie dead;
枯叶堆积在林间洼地，静静长眠；

They rustle to the eddying gust, and to the rabbit's tread.
旋风卷过，野兔踏足，簌簌轻响连绵。

The robin and the wren are flown, and from the shrubs the jay,
知更、鹪鹩早已远飞，松鸦辞别灌丛，

And from the wood-top calls the crow, through all the gloomy day.
阴沉整日，乌鸦在林梢声声哀鸣。

Where are the flowers, the fair young flowers, that lately sprang and stood
那些繁花何在？不久前才破土舒展，

In brighter light and softer airs, beauteous sisterhood?
沐浴柔光和风，一簇簇明媚相伴？

Alas! They all are in their graves, the gentle race of flowers
唉！它们尽数归于坟冢，这温婉的花族，

Are lying in their lowly beds, with the fair and good of ours.
与世间所有美好，一同静卧泥土。

The rain is falling where they lie, but the cold November rain
冷雨落在它们长眠之地，可这十一月寒雨，

Calls not, from out the gloomy earth, the lovely ones again
再也无法，从幽暗大地唤回佳人归期。
