What is this life if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare!
No time to stand beneath the boughs,
And stare as long as sheep and cows.
No time to see, when woods we pass,
Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass.
No time to see, in broad daylight,
Streams full of stars, like skies at night.
No time to turn at Beauty?謘s glance,
And watch her feet, how they can dance.
No time to wait till her mouth can
Enrich that smile her eyes began.
A poor life this if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.
—William Henry Davies
——威廉·亨利·戴维斯
生活会变成什么样,假如整日充满着忧虑
我们没时间去驻足欣赏
没时间去站在树枝底下
像牛羊那样久久地凝视
没时间去细赏我们穿越的大森林
那松鼠在草丛中把果实珍藏
没时间去看一看 在充沛的日光下
盛满星星的小溪 像夜晚的晴空
没有时间对美回眸
观察她的脚 它们如何舞蹈
无暇等那佳人红唇轻启
盈盈的笑眸更加动人
如果生活贫乏如此 充满忧虑
我们没时间去驻足欣赏
