雪夜伫立林边有感

Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening
By Robert Frost
Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
　
My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.
　
　
He hives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound's the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.
　
The woods are lovely, dark and deep.
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
　
参考译文
雪夜伫立林边有感
　
林主曾相识，
村中有其舍，
未悉我在此，
凝视林中雪。
　
小马颇多疑，
荒野何伫立？
林边冻湖间，
岁末黑夜里。
　
小马摇缰铃，
似问有否误，
唯闻飒飒声，
寒风共雪舞。
　
密林景色美，
信誓不可移，
安眠不可得，
尚须行数里。
　
诗人在雪夜里骑马路经一片树林，树林的主人是熟识的，他的家就住在村中。 诗人在白雪覆盖的林边伫立观赏雪景使坐骑感到奇怪，以为他迷失了路。 雪中的森林景色诱人，使人流连忘返，但是诗人却不能停留下来， 他还要继续走一段路程才能安眠。 继续走另有含义，指诗人要完成的工作，安眠指人生的尽头。 诗人说他一定要把要做的事情做完才能最终安息。
