双语美文：在阔叶林

笑看今朝

The same leaves over and over again!
　　They fall from giving shade above
　　To make one texture of faded brown
　　And fit the earth like a leather glove.
　　同样的叶子，一回又一回！
　　从投下树阴的高处飘落，
　　堆积成枯褐的纹理，
　　仿佛给大地戴上了皮手套。
　　Before the leaves can mount again
　　To fill the trees with another shade,
　　They must go down past things coming up.
　　They must go down into the dark decayed.
　　叶子再次爬上高枝
　　为大树添上另一重树阴之前，
　　它们必须坠落，与向上的一切擦肩。
　　它们必须坠落，进入黑暗，腐化。
　　They must be pierced by flowers and put
　　Beneath the feet of dancing flowers.
　　However it is in some other world
　　I know that this is the way in ours.
　　它们必然为花朵所穿透，
　　躺在迎风招展的花朵脚下。
　　而在另一生境，
　　我知道，这也是我们的历程。
