变动世界中的鸟类学
林木译

仅是夜晚的鸟鸣，认不出是什么鸟，
当我从泉边取水回来，走过屋后多石的牧场时；
但我站得那么静，头顶的天空不比水桶里的更静

岁月流逝，所有的地方和面孔淡去，一些人已离世，
而我站在远方，夜色依旧宁静，终于明白
我更怀念那鸟鸣时的宁静，胜过一些
后来未能实现的事情。


Ornithology in a World of Flux
Robert Penn Warren

It was only a bird call at evening, unidentified,
As I came from the spring with water, across the rocky back-pasture;
But so still I stood sky above was not stiller than sky in pail-water.

Years pass, all places and faces fade, some people have died,
And I stand in a far land, the evening still, and am at last sure
That I miss more that stillness at bird-call than some things
that were to fail later.

一首好诗。怀旧而又治愈。赞木木的好译

总有那样一些时刻让人无数次重新记起、怀念。这首选得，深得荔心。

打个记号，要同译，作为对林木大人的挑衅

喜欢这首诗，有"蝉噪林逾静，鸟鸣山更幽"的意境。

期待佳译，特别是对That I miss more that stillness at bird-call than some things
