Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening
[美]罗伯特·弗罗斯特
Robert Frost
我想我知道这是谁的树林。
尽管他的房子在村里;
他也不会见我停留在这里,
看着他那覆满白雪的树林。
我的小马一定感到奇怪,
为何要在这荒无人烟之地徘徊,
在树林与冰湖之间,
在一年中最黑暗的夜晚。
他将清脆的马铃摇响,
试问有何异样,
回应他的惟一声响
是轻风吹卷雪花的纷扬。
树林可人,幽暗而深邃,
而我必须信守承诺,
穿越漫漫长路我才能沉眠。
穿越漫漫长路我才能沉眠。
Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.
He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound's the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.
The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
And miles to go before I sleep.
