Winter: Tonight: Sunset by David Budbill

今晚的夕阳中走在被雪覆盖的路上，
我的鞋子踩在结冰的沙砾路上嘎扎嘎扎响，首先
穿过树林，然后出来进入开阔的田野
经过两三辆拖车，几辆皮卡车，我停下来
望着天空。突然：橙色，红色，粉红，蓝色，
绿色，紫色，黄色，灰色，一下子涌得到处都是。
在我暮年之初，我驻足此刻
为遇见这美丽的黄昏，我说着感激的祷语
为今天，此刻的存在祈祷，在一生中
在今晚，在天空下，都充满活力。
Tonight at sunset walking on the snowy road,
my shoes crunching on the frozen gravel, first
through the woods, then out into the open fields
past a couple of trailers and some pickup trucks, I stop
and look at the sky. Suddenly: orange, red, pink, blue,
green, purple, yellow, gray, all at once and everywhere.
I pause in this moment at the beginning of my old age
and I say a prayer of gratitude for getting to this evening
a prayer for being here, today, now, alive
in this life, in this evening, under this sky.
