He who hopes for Spring with upturned eye never sees so small a thing as Draba，

the smallest flower that blows.

Yet sand too poor and sun too weak forbigger.

better blooms are good enough for Draba.

just a small creature that does a small job.Draba asks， and Draba gets， scantallowance

of warmth and comfort; it subsists on the

leavings of unwanted time and space.

And its color is plain white， and its

leaves wear a sensible wolly coat.

仰著頭盼望春天的人，

永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)看見(jiàn)像蒲公英這樣小的花，

世上最小，會(huì)飛的花。

對(duì)那些高大，漂亮的花來(lái)說(shuō)

太差的土，太弱的光，

蒲公英卻說(shuō)：“夠我用了?！?/p>

不過(guò)一個(gè)小小生物完成一個(gè)小小的使命。

蒲公英要的，蒲公英都得到了，

就那僅一點(diǎn)點(diǎn)的溫暖和舒適。

它生長(zhǎng)在別人余剩下，

不要了的時(shí)間與空間。

它的顏色是簡(jiǎn)簡(jiǎn)單單的白色，

它的葉子披著一件毛絨絨的大衣。
