雨水之美在于韵律不变
骤然而起 缓然而下
点点瓢泼起漫漫长天
太阳的美丽在山峦之巅
或然一瞬的夕照定格了律动的海浪
金与火交相映掩
我所熟知的那个美人的脸庞
随然天海的金光火芒
温绵的雨点平和地落在其上
MONOTONE
–Carl Sandburg
The monotone of the rain is beautiful,
And the sudden rise and slow relapse
Of the long multitudinous rain.
The sun on the hills is beautiful,
Or a captured sunset sea-flung,
Bannered with fire and gold.
A face I know is beautiful–
With fire and gold of sky and sea,
And the peace of long warm rain.
