There Will Come Soft Rain

Sara Teasdale

There will come soft rain and the smell of the ground,
And swallows circling with their shimmering sound;

And frogs in the pools singing at night,
And wild plum-trees in tremulous white;

Robins will wear their feathery fire
Whistling their whims on a low fence-wire;

And not one will know of the war, not one
Will care at last when it is done.

Not one would mind, neither bird nor tree
If mankind perished utterly;

And Spring herself, when she woke at dawn,
Would scarcely know that we were gone.


温和细雨将临

作者：莎拉·蒂斯代尔

温和细雨将临，泥土气息弥漫，
燕子低徊呢喃；

夜间，青蛙在池子里歌唱，
野李树花儿洁白轻轻颤；

知更鸟儿就要穿上火红羽衣，
在矮篱墙电线上啁啾，极好兴致；

将无人知道战争存在，将无人在乎
它最终什么时候结束。

没有人，包括鸟儿和树木会介意
人类是否将彻底消逝；

当春天自己在黎明中醒来，
将不知我们已经离开。
