Lying in a Hammock at William Duffy's Farm in Pine Island, Minnesota

在明尼苏达松树岛威廉-达费的农庄躺在吊床上作

Over my head, I see the bronze butterfly,
Asleep on the black trunk,
blowing like a leaf in green shadow.
Down the ravine behind the empty house,
The cowbells follow one another
Into the distances of the afternoon.
To my right,
In a field of sunlight between two pines,
The droppings of last year's horses
Blaze up into golden stones.
I lean back, as the evening darkens and comes on.
A chicken hawk floats over, looking for home.
I have wasted my life.
			

在我的头上，一只青铜色的蝴蝶 
沉睡在黑色的枝头， 
在绿荫中被风吹动，像片叶子。 
山谷下，空房子后面， 
牛铃一声接着一声 
进入晌午的深处。 
在我右边， 
两棵松树之间洒满阳光的土地上， 
去年马匹留下的粪堆 
发出火光，变成金黄的石头。 
我仰身向后，当暮色降临， 
一只幼鹰滑过，寻找他的家。 
我已经虚度了一生。
