双语有声阅读：少女

The tree has entered my hands,

 

The sap has ascended¹ my arms,

 

The tree has grown in my breast-

 

Downward,

 

The branches grow out of me, like arms.

 

Tree you are,

 

Moss² you are,

 

You are violets with wind above them.

 

A child - so high - you are,

 

And all this is folly³ to the world.

 

By Ezra Pound

 

少女 

　　　　 

　　　　 

树长进我的手心， 

树叶升上我的手臂， 

树在我的前胸 

朝下长， 

树枝象手臂从我身上长出。 

你是树， 

你是青苔， 

你是轻风吹拂的紫罗兰， 

你是个孩子——这么高， 

这一切，世人都看作愚行。
