能夠可愛得像棵樹一樣。

    樹嘴飢渴地緊貼著大地

    胸膛裏流淌的乳水如蜜。

    樹木一整天仰望著上帝，

    為祈禱舉起繁茂的手臂。

    樹的頭髮裏也許戴上了

    夏日中知更鳥兒築的巢。

    一朵朵雪花撲進她胸懷，

    一滴滴雨水與她親又愛。

    做詩的個個像我是蠢貨，

    樹木只能是上帝的創作。

A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the earth's sweet flowing breast;

A tree that looks at God all day,
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;

A tree that may in Summer weal
A nest of robins in her hair;

Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.

Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree.
