《为什么布朗黎出走》 by 莫顿

莫顿:为什么布朗黎出走

 

为什么布朗黎离开,他去了哪里,

至今仍是个谜。

如果有人应该心满意足的话

那就是他; 两英亩大麦,

一英亩土豆,四只小公牛,

一只奶牛,石板瓦的农舍。

最后一次看见他出去翻耕

是三月的一个凌晨,大清早。

 

到中午布朗黎出名了;

他们发现他抛弃所有,包括

最后一个完好的犁具,他那一对

黑马,像夫妻,

将重心从一只脚移到

另一只脚,凝视未来。

 

Why Brownlee Left

BY PAUL MULDOON

 

Why Brownlee left, and where he went,

Is a mystery even now.

For if a man should have been content

It was him; two acres of barley,

One of potatoes, four bullocks,

A milker, a slated farmhouse.

He was last seen going out to plough

On a March morning, bright and early.

 

By noon Brownlee was famous;

They had found all abandoned, with

The last rig unbroken, his pair of black

Horses, like man and wife,

Shifting their weight from foot to

Foot, and gazing into the future.
