池塘里的华宇
被青蛙抛弃——
他立在木桩上
发表言论——
两个世界做他的听众
但要将我除去——
四月的演说家
今已声哑——
手套戴在脚上
他没有手掌——
雄辩是泡沫
一如名声——
你报之以掌声
却在懊恼中发现
德摩斯梯尼已消隐在
一池碧水中——
His Mansion in the Pool
The Frog forsakes—
He rises on a Log
And statements makes—
His Auditors two Worlds
Deducting me—
The Orator of April
Is hoarse Today—
His Mittens at his Feet
No Hand hath he—
His eloquence a Bubble
As Fame should be—
Applaud him to discover
To your chagrin
Demosthenes has vanished
In Waters Green—
