露珠，雨水和月光

露珠，雨水和月光

Vachel Lindsay

 

露珠，雨水和月光

證實天父精神。

露珠，雨水和月光

下來保佑凡人。

 

來，讓我們看大家

有接雨的土地，

有掛住露珠的青草，

廣闊田野產糧食。

 

對，我們要給每個窮人

熟麥和虞美人，--

夜晚那平靜的地方

還有頭頂星辰：

 

能套住月光的網，

草皮延及太陽，

白天勞作的地方，

勞作後的夢想。

 

 

The dew, the rain and moonlight
All prove our Father's mind.
The dew, the rain and moonlight
Descend to bless mankind.

Come, let us see that all men
Have land to catch the rain,
Have grass to snare the spheres of dew,
And fields spread for the grain.

Yea, we would give to each poor man
Ripe wheat and poppies red, --
A peaceful place at evening
With the stars just overhead:

A net to snare the moonlight,
A sod spread to the sun,
A place of toil by daytime,
Of dreams when toil is done.
