THE WIND
风

Be very polite to the Wind, my child,
我的孩子，对风礼貌点，
For the Wind's a fellow both wise and wild.
因为风既理智又野蛮。
A tramp, he travels from town to town
他从一座城镇漂泊到另一座城镇，
With his bag of tricks, like a circus clown.
带着他的小把戏，就像马戏团的小丑。
He never rests; he never tires;
他从不休息，也从不疲倦；
He blows on grass blades and gilded spires,
吹着草叶和镀金尖端，
On tasseled corn and fields of wheat,
在抽穗的玉米和小麦田里穿行，
And the skirts of the farmer's wife so neat.
还把农夫妻子的裙子吹得如此干净。
If you chance to meet him, always say,
如果你有机会见到它，请向他问好
"Wind, are you feeling well today?"
“风，你今天还好吗？”
And be sure you lift the cap from your head,
你一定把帽子从头上摘下，
Or the Wind may do it himself, instead!
也可能是风吹起了它！
