The Winters are so short--冬天这么短---
I'm hardly justified 我几乎认为不合乎情理
In Sending all the Birds away---送走所有的鸟儿--
And moving into pod---就搬进豆荚里---
Myself --for Scarcely Settled---我自己居无定所----
The Phoebes have began---月亮女神出现---
And then---It's time to strike my Tent---此时--该是她照亮我的帐篷---
And open House--again---又--打开房子的门---
It's mostly, interruptions---因为曾经有一个冬天
My Summer ---is despoiled--不时来干扰
Because there was a winter---once--我的夏天就被掠夺了--
And al the cattle ---starved--还有饥饿的牛群---
And so there was a Deluge---有这样一场大洪水---
And swept the world away---把世界席卷的精光----
And Ararat's a lengend --how--阿勒山上--怎样的传奇啊---
And no one Credit Noah----没有一个人信任诺亚---
