topping by Woods on a Snowy Evening            Robert Frost

Whose woods these are I think I know.

His house is in the village, though;

He will not see me stopping here

To watch his woods fill up with snow.

My little horse must think it queer

To stop without a farmhouse near.

Between the woods and frozen lake

The darkest evening of the year.

He gives his harness bells a shake

To ask if there's some mistake.

The only other sound's the sweep

Of easy wind and downy flake.

The woods are lovely, dark, and deep,

But I have promises to keep,                         

And miles to go before I sleep,

And miles to go before I sleep.

雪晚林邊歇馬                       余光中譯

我想我認得這座森林。林主的房子就在前村；

卻見不到我在此歇馬，看他林中飄滿的雪景。

我的小馬一定很驚訝，周圍望不見什麼人家，

竟在一年最暗的黃昏，寒林和冰湖之間停下。

馬兒搖響身上的串鈴，問我這地方該不該停。

此外只有微風拂雪片，再也聽不見其他聲音。

森林又暗又深真可羨，但是我已經有約在先，

還要趕多少路才安眠，還要趕多少路才安眠。
