Rain雨

By R.L.Stevenson,1850～1894

Rain is falling all around,

It falls on field and tree,

It rains on the umbrella here,

And on the ships at sea.

雨儿在到处降落，

它落在田野和树梢，

它落在这边的雨伞上，

又落在航行海上的船只。

O Sailor,Come Ashore

啊！水手，上岸吧

By C.G.Rossetti

(PartⅠ)

O sailor,come ashore

What have you brought for me?

Red coral,

White coral,

Coral from the sea.

啊！水手，上岸吧

你给我带来什么？

海里的珊瑚，

红的，白的。

(Part Ⅱ)

I did not dig it from the ground

Nor pluck it from a tree;

Feeble insects made it

In the stormy sea.

它不是我从地下挖的

也不是从树上摘的；

它是暴风雨的海裹

弱小昆虫做成的。

The Wind

风

By C.G.Rossetti

(Part Ⅰ)

Who has seen the wind?

Neither I nor you;

But when the leaves hang trembling,

The wind is passing through.

谁曾见过风的面貌？

谁也没见过，不论你或我；

但在树叶震动之际，

风正从那里吹过。

(Part Ⅱ)

Who has seen the wind?

Neither you nor I;

But when the trees bow down their heads,

The wind is passing by.

谁曾见过风的面孔？

谁也没见过，不论你或我；

但在树梢低垂之际，

风正从那里经过。
