A Birthday Poem (for Rachel)
For every year of life we light
A candle on your cake
To mark the simple sort of progress
Anyone can make,
And then, to test your nerve or give
A proper view of death,
You’re asked to blow each year,
Our with your own breath.
-James Simmons
生日赠诗
为了你生命的每一年我们
点燃你生日蛋糕上的蜡烛,
为了表明那种简单的进程,
那是人人能够取得的进程,
续而为了考验你的胆量或
表明对待死亡的正确观点,
每年,你得吹煤每枝烛光,
要用你自己拿生命的玩气。
-詹姆斯 . 西蒙斯
