"Birches"
美國近代詩人 Robert Lee Frost，是一位山水田園詩人。
他與新英格蘭那塊土地，結了不解之緣。
在他的抒情詩裏，描寫那裏鄉村的大自然景色。
他的詩歌語言，樸實無華口語化；
更有巧妙高雅的隱喻（Metaphor)。
小時候，他常爬上白樺樹，盪鞦韆。
有天，他在白樺樹前，想起童年的經驗，寫下 "Birches" 詩一首。
開始這麼説，
When I see birches bend to left and right
Across the lines of straighter darker trees,
I like to think some boy's been swinging them.
....
Across the lines of straighter darker trees,

又回到現實做結尾，
I'd like to go by climbing a birch tree,
And climb black branches up a snow-white trunk
Toward heaven, till the tree could bear no more,
But dipped its top and set me down again.
That would be good both going and coming back.
One could do worse than be a swinger of birches.
And climb black branches up a snow-white trunk
Toward heaven, till the tree could bear no more,
But dipped its top and set me down again.
That would be good both going and coming back.
One could do worse than be a swinger of birches.
