Snake
蛇
A snake came to my water-trough
On a hot, hot day, and I in pyjamas for the heat,
To drink there.
一条蛇来到我的水槽
饮水,在一个大热天,我热得
穿一身睡衣裤。
In the deep, strange-scented shade of the great dark
carob-tree
I came down the steps with my pitcher
And must wait, must stand and wait, for there he was at the trough
before me.
在巨大的深色角豆树散发奇味的浓荫里,
我提着水壶走下台阶
