Woodland whispers Clinton Scollard
林間私語 科林頓·斯克蘭德
Deep in the woodland you will hear,
在叢林深處,你會聽到,
If you but lend attentive ear,
側耳傾聽,
A murmurous talk from time to time,
你會聽到低聲私語的聲音,
And all the words will run to rhyme.
所有的話語都會變成音律。
By light of sun and light of star,
在陽光下和星辰下,
The wind and trees the gossips are;
風和樹都在低聲私語;
In whispers to the questioning trees
好奇的樹木輕聲提問,
The wandering wind tells all he sees,
游蕩的風告訴他所看到的一切,
For he can roam and roam and roam
他可以不停地,不停地游蕩,
While all the trees must stay at home.
但所有的樹都要待在原地,無法動彈。
