秋天已近尾聲

一樹金黃即將落盡

Margaret

難道你在為這些落葉傷心？

葉子跟人沒甚麼兩樣

都是生死有命

等你的心長得再老一些

就能冷眼看世界

坦然面對離去

譯自Gerard Manley Hopkins的Spring and Fall

Margaret, are you grieving

Over Goldengrove unleaving?

Leaves, like the things of man, you

With your fresh thoughts care for, can you?

Ah! as the heart grows older

It will come to such sights colder
