The finest boat is born 世界上有了一條最小的船

Inside sits the tinest sailor 上面坐著一位最小的水手

Setting sail on the long voyage oflife 開始了生命的遠航

The sea is so quiet 大海很靜很靜

I fear the wind may rouse waves 我擔心風會捲起波浪

The sea is so clear 大海很清很清

I fear fishmen may cast nets 我擔心漁民撒網

As the sailor 水手走進了

Falls into a sweet, sweet dream 甜甜的夢鄉

11. Stopping By Woods On A SnowyEvening 雪夜林邊駐足

By Robert Frost

Whose woods these are I think I know, 樹林屬誰我清楚，

Hishouse is in the village though, 他家就在那村住；

He will not see me stopping here 哪能見我停此處，

To watch his woods fill up with snow. 觀賞積雪壓樹木。

My little horse must think it queer 我的小馬兒必驚異，

To stop without a farmhouse near 為何偏偏停此地，

Between woods and frozen lake 冰湖林間無農舍，

The darkest evening of the year. 又逢夜色黑無比。

He gives his harness bells a shake 馬兒搖搖韁繩鈴，

To ask if there is some mistake. 欲問是否迷路徑。

The only other sound』s the sweep 萬籟俱寂惟風語，

Of easy wind and downy flake. 似絨雪片落地輕。

The woods are lovely, dark and deep, 夜林可愛且幽深，

But I have promises to keep, 但有承諾需完成。

And miles to go before I sleep, 路程尚遠，哪能入睡起鼾聲，

And miles to go before I sleep. 路程尚遠，哪能入睡起鼾聲。

18. A Corn Poppy 虞美人

As a young man, listening girls sing in atower, 少年聽雨歌樓上，

I heard the sound of the rain. 紅蠟昏羅帳。

While the red candle burned in the dampair, 壯年聽雨客舟中，

In middle age, travelling by boat on ariver, 江南雲低，

I listened the rain falling, falling, 斷雁叫西風。

The river was wide and clouds driftedabove,

I heard the solitary cry of a teal borne inthe west wind.

And now in a cloister cell I hear the rainagain, 而今聽雨僧寮下，

My hair is grey and sparse; Sadness andhappiness, 鬢已蕭蕭也。

Separation and reunion, seem all one. 悲歡離合總無情，

They move no more. L et the rain drop allnight on the 一任階前，

Deserted pavement till the day dawns. 點滴到天明。

.
