綠樹以它的綠裝扮著大地，使大地充滿生機(jī)，棵棵綠樹，蒼萃欲滴，給人們創(chuàng)造了優(yōu)美的環(huán)境。我們來讀一下這首J. Kilmer的Trees《樹》，體會一下詩人對樹的感受：

Trees

I think that I shall never see

A poem lovely as a tree.

A tree whose hungry mouth is pressed

Against the earths sweet flowing breast;

A tree that looks at God all day,

And lifts her leafy arms to pray;

A tree that may in summer wear

A nest of robins in her hair;

Upon whose bosom snow has lain;

Who intimately lives with the rain.

Poems are made by fools like me,

But only God can make a tree.

樹

我想我從未見過一首

美如玉樹的詩篇。

一棵張著饑餓嘴巴的樹，

緊壓在大地甘美而流暢的乳房上；

一棵整天望著神的樹，

舉起枝葉繁茂的手臂來祈禱；

一棵在夏日里可能

戴著一窩知更鳥在頭發(fā)上的樹；

雪花堆積在她的懷抱里；

雨水也和她親切地生活在一起。

像我這樣愚笨的人可以作詩，

但唯有神方能造樹。
