THE MOUNTAINS ARE A LONELY FOLK, by Hamlin Garland(哈姆林·加兰1860-1940) 1

THE MOUNTAINS ARE ALONELY FOLK

Hamlin Garland

The mountains theyare silent folk;

They stand afar --alone,

And the clouds thatkiss their brows at night

Hear neither sighnor groan.

Each bears him inhis ordered place

As soldiers do, andbold and high

They fold theirforests round their feet

And bolster up thesky.

山岳是沉默的好汉

哈牟林·格朗德

山岳他们是沉默的好汉;

他们远远站着--孤孤单单，

夜间，云霞吻接他们的眉头，

听不出呻吟，听不出长叹。

都坚持着在自己的岗位上，

每一座都如同兵士一般，

把森林团结在自己的脚下，

高撑着苍穹，岿然勇敢。
