A Summer Day 夏日
——George Cooper ——乔治·库柏
This is the way the morning dawns: 这就是拂晓时分的光景：
Rosy tints on the flowers and trees, 花儿和树儿披上玫瑰红，
Winds that wake the birds and bees, 微风唤醒鸟儿和蜜蜂，
Dewdrops on the field and lawns—— 原野和草地上露珠儿凝——

This is the way the sun comes up: 这就是日出时的光景：
Gold on the brook and glossy leaves, 小溪和光滑的叶儿金光闪，
Mist that melts above the sheaves, 薄雾在花草藤丛上消散，
Vine, and rose, and buttercup—— 葡萄藤、玫瑰花还有毛茛——
This is the way the sun comes up. 这就是日出时的光景。
This is the way the river flows: 这就是河水奔流的光景：
Here a whirl, and there a dance; 这里打个转那里撒个欢，
Slowly now, then, like a lance, 一会儿慢来一会儿快，
Swiftly to the sea it goes—— 朝着大海它欢快前进——

This is the way the rain comes down: 这就是下雨时的光景：
Tinkle, tinkle, drop by drop, 叮叮咚咚，点点滴滴，
Over roof and chimney top; 下在屋顶上下在烟囱里；
Boughs that bend, and skies that frown—— 大树把腰弯，天空愁眉不展——
