梨树

希尔达•杜利特尔 (Hilda Doolittle, 1886-1961)， 美国诗人与小说家。

银尘,

卷地而起,

高不可及,

落定,

啊! 银海,

高不可及,

一望无际。

哪有花儿伸展,

如此坚挺的白叶,

哪有花儿的素装,

有如此罕见的银光。

啊! 白梨,

花海如甸,

枝头铺满,

用它们紫色的心,

送来夏日与芳香的果实。

Pear Tree

Silver dust

lifted from the earth,

higher than my arms reach,

you have mounted,

O silver,

higher than my arms reach

you front us with great mass;

no flower ever opened

so staunch a white leaf,

no flower ever parted silver

from such rare silver;

O white pear,

your flower tufts,

thick on the branch,

bring summer and ripe fruits

in their purple hearts.
