Gathering Leaves
BY
(原作:罗伯特·佛罗斯特)
Spades take up leaves
No better than spoons,
And bags full of leaves
Are light as balloons.
I make a great noise
Of rustling all day
Like rabbit and deer
Running away.
But the mountains I
raise
Elude my embrace,
Flowing over my arms
And into my face.
I may load and unload
Again and again
Till I
fill the whole shed,
And what have I then?
Next to nothing for
weight,
And since they grew
duller
From contact with
earth,
Next to nothing for
color.
Next to nothing for
use.
But a crop is a crop,
And who's to say where
The harvest shall
stop?
