。。。小园雨后花花草草。。。
紫薇花
天气预报最近这些天都要很热,我们周末又要上路带雪儿去打水球了。前几天下雨真是凉爽宜人,园子里的花花草草也很滋润的样子。雨夜,打开窗,听雨打芭蕉的滴滴哒哒。。。
顺便把前几天在梅雨潭译的诗搬回家。诗名五月晨曲。
Song on May Morning, by John Milton,燕子译。
Now the bright morning-star, Day’s harbinger
启明星闪烁,白昼的使者
Comes dancing from the East, and leads with her
自东方舞来,她引领着
The flowery May, who from her green lap throws
鲜花五月天,从她碧裙洒落
The yellow cowslip and the pale primrose.
鹅黄莲馨草,淡雅报春花
Hail, bounteous May, that dost inspire
啊,盛季五月天,你激发
Mirth, and youth, and warm desire!
欢乐,青春,温暖的渴求
Woods and groves are of thy dressing;
丛林穿著你的衣衫
Hill and dale doth boast thy blessing.
山谷炫耀你的神韵
Thus we salute thee with our early song,
我们以晨曲向你致意
And welcome thee, and wish thee long.
欢迎你,并盼你永驻
浅色的紫薇低下头,像是紫丁香
紫薇又名百日红,满堂红(crape myrtle),花期很长,从初夏一直开很久。花色也多,纯白,大红,紫红,深紫都常见,我特意选了淡紫淡粉色,在夏天显得清凉一些。
美人蕉 canna lily, 亭亭玉立,其实很皮实的,她娇美而不娇气,在湿润的土壤里,每年越分越多。这株美人蕉有带彩色条纹的叶子。
天堂竹 heavenly bamboo
晶晶莹莹的雨滴像小扣子
夏天又开的紫藤。我的紫藤宠辱不惊,春天长叶之前,开出串串紫花,淡淡飘香。到了夏天,她又奉献一份惊喜:在茂盛的叶片间,冒出花苞花芽,不久就长成半尺长的花串,打开窗,风乍起,蔓延的花儿笑语盈盈,暗香传送~~~
后面这几株是不同品种的八仙球,淡雅清秀
想给她起名丁香白雪
~周末愉快~
