窗口外的风景

玻璃窗外
有棵桔子树
果树将弯腰来承载
缀满枝头的果实

绚丽的阳光普照
温暖它绿绿的叶子
没有风，没有雨
拍打绿叶中的树干

此刻终於来临
甚至自然都在嘲笑
但自豪的桔子树
向上站立
弯曲，也在高傲地坚守

VIEW FROM MY WINDOW

Outside my pane of glass
There stands an orange tree
Bending low from her burden
Of fruit about to be.

The radiant sun gleams down
To warm her leaves of green
No more wind, no more rain,
To buffet her trunk unseen.

Now the time has finally come
And even nature derides
But the proud orange tree
Standing aloft
Bends low, and nobly abides.
