123. A Ballad of Trees and the Master
——S. Lanier
Into the woods my Master went,
Clean forspent, forspent.
Into the woods my Master came,
Forspent with love and shame.
But the olives they were not blind to Him,
The little gray leaves were kind to Him:
The thorn-tree had a mind to Him
When into the woods. He came.
Out of the woods my Master went,
And He was well content.
Out of the woods my Master came,
Content with death and shame.
When Death and Shame would woo Him last,
From under the trees they drew Him last:
Twas on a tree they slew Him——last:
When out of the woods He came.

123 歌唱树和我的主人
拉尼尔
我的主人进入这片树林，
他已筋疲力尽，筋疲力尽。
我的主人来到这片树林，
他因爱而筋疲力尽，羞愧满心。
但橄榄树对他没有闭上眼睛，
灰白的小树叶对他很多情，
多刺的灌木对他很用心，
当他来到这片树林。
我的主人走出这片树林，
他感到十分如意称心。
我的主人走出这片树林，
他为死亡和羞辱而高兴。
当死亡和羞辱向他求婚，
它们把他拖出这片树林：
最后让他死在一棵树上，
当他走出这片树林。
