Like Barley Bending
Sara Teasdale
Like barley bending
In low fields by the sea,
Singing in hard wind
Ceaselessly;
Like barley bending
And rising again,
So would I, unbroken,
Rise from pain;
So would I softly,
Day long, night long,
Change my sorrow
Into song.
像大麥彎垂
像大麥彎垂
在海邊的低地,
風中歌聲的旋回
不停息;
像大麥彎垂
再挺立,
我也該, 不衰頹,
從痛中升起;
我也該輕柔,
整天地, 整晚地,
把我的悲愁
寫成笙歌。
