A tree whose hungry mouth is prest 一棵张着饥饿嘴巴的树，
　　against the earth's sweet flowing *; 紧压在大地甘美而流畅的**上；
　　A tree that looks at God all day, 一棵整天望着神的树，
　　And lifts her leafy arms to pray; 举起枝叶繁茂的手臂来祈祷；
　　A tree that may in summer wear 一棵树在夏日里可能
　　A nest of robins in her hair; 戴着一窝知更鸟在头发上；
　　Upon whose bosom snow has lain; 雪花堆积在她的怀抱里；
　　Who intimately lives with the rain. 雨水也和她亲切地生活在一起。
　　Poems are made by fools like me, 像我这样愚笨的人可以做诗，
　　But only God can make a tree. 但唯有神方能造树。
