秋（Autumn)

秋夜里一点寒意，                      A touch of cold in the Autumn night,

我到外面散步，                         I walked abroad,

看见赤色的月倚在篱边，           And saw the ruddy moom lean over hedge,

如一红脸的村夫。                      Like a red-faced farmer.

我没停止说话，只点点头，        I did not stop to speak,but nodded,

四围有憧憬的星，                       And round about were the wistful stars

脸白，如城里小儿。                    With white faces like towm chidren.

 T.E.休姆/作                                         T.E.Hulme.  1883--1917
