The
Star
星星
(1)
Twinkle,
twinkle, little star!
闪耀，闪耀，小星星！
How I wonder what you are,
我想知道你身形，
Up above the world so high,
高高挂在天空中，
Like a diamond in the sky.
就像天上的钻石。
(2)
When the
blazing sun is gone,
灿烂太阳已西沉，
When he nothing shines upon,
它已不再照万物，
Then you show your little light,
你就显露些微光，
Twinkle, twinkle all the night.
整个晚上眨眼睛。
(3)
The dark
blue sky you keep
留恋漆黑的天空
And often thro' my curtains
peep,
穿过窗帘向我望，
For you never shut your eye
永不闭上你眼睛
Till the sun is in the sky.
直到太阳又现形。
(4)
'Tis your
bright and tiny spark
你这微亮的火星，
Lights the traveler in the dark;
黑夜照耀着游人，
Though I know not what you are
虽我不知你身形，
Twinkle, twinkle, little star!
闪耀，闪耀，小星星！
by Jane Taylor, 1783-1824

The Dove J. Keats
I had a dove, and the sweet dove died;
And
I hve thought it died of grieving;
O, what could it grieve for? Its feet
were tied
With a silken thread of my own hand’s
weaving;
Sweet
little red feet! Why should you
die
—
Why would you leave me, sweet bird!
Why?
You lieved alone in
the forest tree,
Why,
pretty thing! Would you not live with me?
I kissed you oft and gave
you white peas;
Why not
live sweerly, as in the green trees?
鸽子
济慈
我有一只鸽
,
而这可爱的鸽子死了
;
我以为它因悲伤而死亡
;
啊
,
它为何而悲伤
?<
/p>
它的双脚
是用我亲手织成的丝线所缚拴
;
<
/p>
可爱的小红脚
!
你为什么会死亡—
你为什么离开我
,
可爱的鸟
!
为什么这样
?
你在树林中孤独地生活
,
呀
,
漂亮的小东西
!<
/p>
难道你不愿跟我生活
?
我曾经常吻你并喂你白豌豆
;
为什么不甜美地生活在绿树枝头
?
The
Elephant(
大象

As an elephant his ivory,
My mouth holds a precious good.
Crimson death! . . . I buy
my glory.
My coin is a
gorgeous word.
The Dove(

Dove, the spirit and the
love
Who engendered Christ
above,
Like you, I love a
Marie.
May she marry me!
Bed in Summer
Robert Louis Stevenson
In winter I get
up at night
And dress by
yellow candle-light.
In
summer, quite the other way,
I have to go to bed by day.
I have to go to bed and see
The birds still hopping on
the tree,
Or hear the
grown-up people's feet
Still going past me in the street.
And does it
seem hard to you,
When all
the sky is clear and blue,
And I should like so much to play,
To have to go to bed by
day?
夏之眠
冬日里我夜里起床，
借着昏黄的烛光穿衣裳。
夏日里可不一样，
我不得不白日里就睡觉上床。
小鸟儿仍在树上蹦蹦跳跳，
大人们的脚步声
还在大街上回响，
我却得早早睡觉上床。
天空还是那么蔚蓝，明亮，
我多么想嬉戏，玩耍，
你是否觉得
这时候就睡觉难入梦乡？
The Leaves Of
Autumn
秋天
I love to go to the falls
To
watch the leaves of autumn
The colors
are so beautiful to see
They have great
meaning for me
Orange is
for the golden sun
Green is for new
life to come
Brown is for my memories
The crispness of the falling leaves
Is nature coming in my heart
As I watch I feel the mystery
For Jesus love in this world we see
The leaves of
autumn touch the ground
Tall trees, I
am surrounded, abode
As I look for the
sky, I can smell the leaves
When I pass
by, the birds fly high to me
Singing in
the trees, the squirrels climb
Up on
the roots, an old oak tree
With much to
tell, God's art to be
Plays such a
part, in the leaves I know
It is a very
special season, as we go.
Autumn Season
Autumn season is here once again
Such pretty trees of red, yellow and
gold
The autumn winds are strong and
chilly,
As the leaves fall, it's a
beauty to behold.
The
leaves fall and break from the trees
Oh
how nice steping on the crunchy leaves
Listening to the sound of the autumn
wind,
God created everything from
beginning to end.
Summer is over, the flowers
have faded
The grass is not growing as
tall
The leaves break and fall to the
ground,
A shifting change, God's hand
is in it all.
We know who
holds the world in place
Who gently
holds us in His hands
We too are living
in the autumn of life,
Autumn winds
blow, but God understands.
Yes, we feel the gentle chill of fall
We smell the scent of lovely flowers
With summer past and autumn here,
We give God thanks for His love and
cheer.
夏天
summer time
Summer is a wonderful time with lush
and lovely flowers
God's sprinkling
system sends heavenly raindrop showers
Bee's pollinate the flowers and make
honey
Birds feed their young and chirp
when they're hungry
Gardner's and farmers cultivate their
flowers and crops
Evening bunnies romp
and certain eves have moonlit props
Each and every season God's new
miracles begin
In all God's creations
we can see Christ within
Miraculous gift of life even in the
smallest detail
Whether it's a huge
tree or in a tiny snail
Veins in the
leaves, petals of flowers
Winding
creeks and wondrous tomorrows
Hot humid days to swim in
ponds
Trickling water sounds
Taste the berries
Scent that
carries
All in summertime.
God made roses in the
spring
To bloom their best effect,
Beautiful and fragrant
With
a sweet magnificence.
They
grow with joy up to the sun
Swaying
gently in the breeze,
Puncturing the
balmy air
With all the tenderness we
need.
I wonder then, where
we are set
For if roses have a perfect
plan,
Then we, blossoming where we are
Have a gift to understand.
What wonder shall He have in mind
How He wants His own to be,
