Mary Gilmore 郭穎

These are life's treasuring：

The sudden sun through rain;

Stars on a frosty night，

grass rippling o'er the plain;

Tempest grown still;

Hearth-fires when long roads end;

Candle-light in a quiet room;

And the still silence of a friend.

Notes： treasuring n. 珍寶，珍藏品 frosty adj. 有霜的 ripple vi. 起細浪 o'er=over plain n. 草原 tempest n. 大風暴 hearth-fire n. 爐火 candle-light n. 燭光

【詩歌大意】 生活中的珍寶是：沖破風雨的陽光，霜夜閃亮的星星，波浪翻滾的綠草，風暴過后的寧靜，漫長旅途后的爐火，寂靜小屋里的燭光，朋友的無言默契。
