There Will Come Soft Rains
Sara Teasdale - 1884-1933
There will come soft rains and the smell of the ground,
And swallows circling with their shimmering sound;
And frogs in the pools singing at night,
And wild plum trees in tremulous white,
Robins will wear their feathery fire
Whistling their whims on a low fence-wire;
And not one will know of the war, not one
Will care at last when it is done.
Not one would mind, neither bird nor tree
If mankind perished utterly;
And Spring herself, when she woke at dawn,
Would scarcely know that we were gone.
微雨將臨
莎拉·蒂絲黛爾 - 1884-1933
微雨將臨，泥氣瀰漫，
燕子迴旋，細語呢喃；
塘中池蛙， 夜來放歌，
曠野李樹， 白花搖曳，
知更鳥兒，烈焰羽裳，
籬笆網上，聲聲奇想；
戰爭爆發，無人知曉，
戰爭結局，無人煩擾。
人類若亡，無人在乎，
鳥不在乎，樹不在乎；
晨曦朦朧，夢醒之時，
春神不知，人類已逝。
