春天英文诗词

春天英文诗词

　　by William Carlos Williams

　　By the road to the contagious hospital

　　under the surge of the blue

　　mottled clouds driven from the

　　northeast-a cold wind. Beyond， the

　　waste of broad， muddy fields

　　brown with dried weeds， standing and fallen

　　patches of standing water

　　the scattering of tall trees

　　All along the road the reddish

　　purplish， forked， upstanding， twiggy

　　stuff of bushes and small trees

　　with dead， brown leaves under them

　　leafless vines-

　　Lifeless in appearance， sluggish

　　dazed spring approaches-

　　They enter the new world naked，

　　cold， uncertain of all

　　save that they enter. All about them

　　the cold， familiar wind-

　　Now the grass， tomorrow

　　the stiff curl of wildcarrot leaf

　　One by one objects are defined-

　　It quickens： clarity， outline of leaf

　　But now the stark dignity of

　　entrance-Still， the profound change

　　has come upon them： rooted， they

　　grip down and begin to awaken
