山里的雨

丁倩

Rain in The Mountains

The Valley's full of misty cloud,

Its tinted beauty drowning,

The Eucalypti roar aloud,

The mountain fronts are frowning.

The mist is hanging like a pall

From many granite ledges,

And many a little waterfall

Starts o’er the valley’s edges.

The sky is of a leaden grey,

Save where the north is surly,

The driven daylight speeds away,

And night comes o’er us early.

But, love, the rain will pass full soon,

Far sooner than my sorrow,

And in a golden afternoon

The sun may set to-morrow.

Henry Lawson （1867–1922) is an Australian Bush Poet，an important figure within the ‘Bush Ballad’ school of poetry. His verse at its best shares the perceptiveness and clarity. It is placed in the realist tradition. The poems depict the life, character and scenery of the Australian bush and explore themes of local life。 This is a typical bush poem. It depicts the scenery in the mountains with colorful words.

山里的雨

亨利 拉森 澳大利亚

山谷里弥漫的浓雾，

淹没了绚丽美景，

桉树林在咆啸着，

山峦岭嶂愁云缭绕。

迷雾像悬挂的纬幔，

在岩石的缝缭中，

涌流出无数条瀑布，

从陡峭岩壁飞泻而下。

天空中浓云密布，

唯有北方天边略显阴郁，

被驱赶的日光疾速隐退，

夜暮早早来到。

可是，亲爱的，骤雨很快过去，

我的忧伤会随之离去，

金光灿烂的下午，

预言着太阳会在明天升起。
