独处冬日林中,穿林默默前行.

中意一棵枫树,使其俯首敛胸.

四时肩扛利斧,晚霞近暗犹明.

一串模糊足迹,印在皑皑雪中.

  应知自然不败,砍伐一树何能？

不如回家小憩,准备下次交锋.

In the Winter in the Woods Alone

Robert Frost(1874 – 1963)

In winter in thewoods alone

Against the trees I go.

I mark a maple for my own

And lay the maple low.

At four o-clock I shoulder ax,

And in the afterglow

I link a line of shadowy tracks

Across the tinted snow.

I see for Nature no defeat

In one tree’s overthrow

Or for myself in my retreat

For yet another blow.
