WIND ON THE HILL
No one can tell me,
Nobody knows,
Where the wind comes from,
Where the wind goes.
It's flying from somewhere
As fast as it can,
I couldn't keep up with① it,
Not if I ran.
But if I stopped holding
The string② of my kite,
It would blow with the wind
For a day and a night.【1】
And then when I found it,
Wherever③ it blew,【2】
I should know that the wind
Had been going there too.
So then I could tell them
Where the wind goes…
But where the wind comes from
Nobody knows.
A.A.Milne

DREAM
Hold fast to④ dreams,
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged⑤ bird
That cannot fly.
Hold fast to dreams,
For when dreams go
Life is a barren⑥ field
Frozen⑦ with snow.
Langston Hughes
A MATCH
If love were what the rose is,
And I were the leaf,
Our lives would grow together
In sad or singing weather,
Brown fields or flowerful closes,
Green pleasure or grey grief⑧;
If love were what the rose is,
And I were like the leaf.
A.C.Swinburne

山上的风
没有人能够告诉我,
也没有人会知道,
风来自哪里,
又将去往哪里。
它从一个地方吹来
尽它所能,飞快地吹来,
我跟不上它,
即使我奔跑。
但如果不再紧握
我手中的风筝线,
它将随风飘走
一天一夜。
后来当我找到它时,
无论它飘到哪儿,
我会知道风
也曾经去过那里。
所以那时我能告诉人们,
风去了哪里……
但是风从哪里来
没有人知道。

梦想
紧紧抓住梦想,
梦想若是消亡
生命就像鸟儿折了翅膀
再也不能飞翔。
紧紧抓住梦想,
梦想若是消亡
生命就像贫瘠的荒野
雪覆冰封,万物不再生长。
兰斯顿·休斯
配偶
爱情若是玫瑰,
我便是绿叶,
花和叶同生同长
沐阳光或披风霜,
在花坞或田野里,
共担忧伤共喜悦;
爱情若是玫瑰,
我便是绿叶。
阿尔加侬·查尔斯·
斯温伯恩
