花仙子的歌

作者：（英）西西莉.玛丽 巴克

CICELY MARY BARKER

作品特色：作者生长在一个艺术之家，从小多才多艺，16岁就出版一套明信片，她深受拉斐尔的影响，遵循忠于自然的理念，将仙子与植物和孩子形象融合的原则，甚至插图的孩子都是在幼儿园里临摹的，把花拟人化为仙子，很为孩子们所喜爱。

本篇摘选改编了作者原著共6册部分内容，以花果的字母顺序排序，如"苹果APPLE " 是指：苹果花仙子 APPLE FAIRY。为防止冗长，删略了一些中国人不熟悉的花，按汉语的习惯简略了译意的诗文，与原文不甚嵌合之处还请谅解。

说真的，如果写中国的花，还能编辑出诸如牡丹，荷花，菊花等诸多美丽的花儿和诗句，那会更加生动，敬请期待。

本篇文字中凡［ ］的内容均为笔者注释，仅供参考。

苹果 APPLE

我在树上看到你，花蕾粉白相间，仙子呵护你远离霜冻和枯萎，那天和风习习，花瓣飞舞。你踏上征程远去!

耐心等待到那一天，在开花之地，是甜美的苹果。这美好的馈赠是开花的孩子们留给我们的厚礼!

Up in the tree we see you, blossom-babies, All pink and white;

We think there must be fairies to protect you

From frost and blight,

Until, some windy day, in drifts of petals, You take your fight.

You'll fly away! But if we wait with patience,

Some day we'll find

Here, in your place, full-grown and ripe, the apples

You left behind-

A goodly gift indeed, from blossom-babies To human-kind!

筋骨草 BUGLE

善良的仙女居住在森林边缘，那里还有放哨的勇敢士兵。

每当号角声响，

时刻准备着的精灵们跑出来，

去打猎或是去投入战斗。

蓝铃花和他的伙伴们，

沐浴在艳阳与月光之下。

在古铜叶筋骨草的日夜守护下，

森林洋溢着欢乐。

At the edge of the woodland

Where good fairies dwell

Stands, on the look-out A brave sentinel.

At the call of his bugle

Out the elves run,

Ready for anything,

Danger, or fun

Hunting, or wartare,

By moonshine or sun.

With bluebells and campions

The woodlands are gay,

Where bronzy-leaved Bugle

Keeps watch night and day.

耧斗菜 COLUMBINE

糖果花、矢车菊、风铃草还有番红花，菊花勇敢动人，耧斗菜舞姿曼妙。

是的，耧斗菜！她正是最佳人选；

你看，和她在一起的，

还有一个吹笛人，吹出甜美动人的曲调。

他伴着轻盈的脚步，

在花园里，树影婆娑间，轻舞。

There's Candytuft, and Cornflower blue,

Campanula and Crocus too,

Chrysanthemum so bold and fine, And pretty dancing Columbine.Yes, Columbine! The choice is she;And with her, see,

An elfin piper, piping sweet

A little tune for those light feet

That dance among the leaves and flowers In someone's garden.

(Is it ours?)

蒲公英 DENDELION

看我那锯齿般的叶子边缘，吹响了报时的钟声；

看我在树篱旁炫耀，在草地上，在小巷里，花园里的我顽皮又欢乐。

想把我拔起来?—我会再次生长，

既不请假也不道歉。傻瓜，你在干什么?就用你的铁锹和锄头?

休想把我赶出去

我，无畏的蒲公英!

See my leaves with tooth-like edges;Blow my clocks to tell the time;

See me flaunting by the hedges,

In the meadow, in the lane,

Gay and naughty in the garden;

Pull me up-I grow again,

Asking neither leave nor pardon.

Sillies, what are you about

With your spades and hoes of iron?

You can never drive me out-Me, the dauntless Dandelion!

山茱萸 DOGWOOD

［注：唐代诗人王维在《九月九日忆山东兄弟》中有“遍插茱萸少一人"，民间以此物避邪和思亲］

很久之前，

我是一名战士

会化山茱萸为箭

于弓弦之上射出。如今，那些路人来去匆匆，

却无人知晓

我昔日的荣耀。

然而，当秋日之阳浸染森林。

你若前来寻我，便会轻易将我识出：

青红相间的叶子，几近凋零；

黑红的小浆果，

在枝条上成熟变红。

I was a warrior,

When, long ago,

Arrows of Dogwood

Flew from the bow.

Passers-by, nowadays,

Go up and down,

Not one remembering

My old renown.

Yet when the Autumn sun

Colours the trees,

Should you come seeking me, Know me by these:

Bronze leaves and crimson leaves, Soon to be shed;

Dark little berries,

On stalks turning red.

重瓣雏菊 DOUBLE DAISY

大丽花和飞燕草太高得我够不着；

难道没有一种小花可以为D 挑选吗?

小花坛里的重瓣雏菊仰起笑脸，迎着太阳，向大家致意。对，就是这绯红的雏菊了。

Dahlias and Delphiniums,

you're too tall for me;Isn't there a little flower I can choose for D?

In the smallest flower-bed

Double Daisy lifts his head

With a smile to greet the sun, You, and me, and everyone.

Crimson Daisy, now I see

You're the little lad for me!

勿忘我 FORGET ME NOT

仙子宝宝们的温床在哪儿，它们长大可以飞翔吗?

我想这里是合适的温床，在蓝粉相间的花朵之间，

哦，仙子宝宝安然入睡!

无人叨扰，亲爱的宝宝，

虽独身一人，但你不会被遗忘!

找到你，我满心欢喜，

你周围萦绕着勿忘我之花，它们犹如碧空般蔚蓝!

Where do fairy babies lie

Till they're old enough to fly?

Here's a likely place, I think,

Mid these flowers, blue and pink, (Pink for girls and blue for boys:Pretty things for babies' toys!)

Let us peep now, gently. Why, Fairy baby, here you lie!

Kicking there, with no one by, Baby dear, how good you lie!All alone, but O, you're not-You could never be-forgot!O how glad I am I've found you,

With Forget-me-nots around you, Blue, the colour of the sky!

毛地黄 FOXGLOVE

［注：毛地黄花冠钟状下垂，多为紫红色带斑点，全株入药含强心甙地高辛］

“毛地黄，毛地黄你看见了什么?”绿林成荫

蜜蜂飞舞。

喂，嗡嗡的蜜蜂先生，

我这儿有甘甜的蜜糖送你!

“毛地黄，毛地黄，

现在你看见了什么?”

酒在蕨菜、草地与树梢上的柔和的夏夜月光。

还有翩翩起舞的仙子们，

这般景色仿佛只有她们知晓。

“Foxglove, Foxglove,

What do you see?”

The cool green woodland, The fat velvet bee;

Hey, Mr Bumble,

I've honey here for thee!

“Foxglove, Foxglove,

What see you now?”

The soft summer moonlight

On bracken, grass, and bough;

And all the fairies dancing As only they know how.

灯笼花 FUCHSIA

灯笼花是个舞者

脚尖轻踮起舞，

衣袍红紫相间

靠着小木屋的墙边；

有时在温室里

穿着白色与瑰色的裙子起舞，

在仙子的晚间舞会上展示她心爱的华服!

Fuchsia is a dancer

Dancing on her toes, Clad in red and purple, By a cottage wall;

Sometimes in a greenhouse,

In frilly white and rose,

Dressed in her best for the fairies' evening ball!

天竺葵 GERANIUM

火红、深红、朱红色。花蕾初绽时，光彩夺目！世界上没有一种花，能拥有如此明艳的红色。

她的名字，众所周知——天竺葵；

无论生长在何方，

她都满心雀跃，

无论在陶盆中还是在花园里——火红、深红、朱红色!

Red, red, vermilion red

With buds and blooms in a glorious head!There isn't a Aower. the wide world through, That glows with a brighter scarlet hue.Her name-Geranium-everyone knows;She's just as happy wherever she grows, In an earthen pot or a garden bed-

Red, red, vermilion red.

风铃草 HAREBELL

哦，银铃啊，你有纤细而美丽的茎叶!

可惜没人能听懂你那动人的铃鸣，哦，轻轻鸣铃的风铃草!

当露水染上了黄昏的颜色，就在夜幕降临之时，风铃草会轻轻响起，在仙子们的舞会上奏鸣。

它们在仙子载歌载舞之时，

叮当作响，彻夜不停，

直到黎明苏醒，天际灰暗。

仙子们的乐曲才渐渐消散。

O bells, on stems so thin and fine!

No human ear

Your sound can hear,

O lightly chiming bells of mine!When dim and dewy twilight falls, Then comes the time

When harebells chime

For fairy feasts and fairy balls.

They tinkle while the fairies play,

With dance and song,

The whole night long,

Till daybreak wakens, cold and grey, And elfin music fades away.

山楂 HAWTHORN

五月前的某时，

鲜花冲破刺叶开满枝头。

零落的花瓣像飘雪般纷纷散落。你说“这是故事的终局”。

但故事尚未讲完！

你看，山楂果结满枝头喂饱了饥寒之季的鸟雀。

These thorny branches bore the May

So many months ago,

That when the scattered petals lay

Like drifts of fallen snow，

“This is the story's end, " you said;But O, not half was told!

For see, my haws are here instead, And hungry birdies shall be fed On these when days are cold.

鸢尾花 IRIS

我是鸢尾花，沼泽和水的女儿

俯视之下，我看到

溪流宁静，闪耀光辉；睡莲硕大美丽。

莲叶轻漂于水；

尽览水底世界，

我对自己会心一笑!

I am Iris: I'm the daughter

Of the marshland and the water.Looking down, I see the gleam Of the clear and peaceful stream;Water-lilies large and fair

With their leaves are floating there;

All the water-world I see,

And my own face smiles at me!

茉莉花 JASMINE

炎夏的骄阳似火，

这里却有绿色的凉亭，

茉莉花开香气，萦绕如梦。

暑日暮色渐深，

直到黑暗来临——唯有白色茉莉花闪闪发光，为夜晚带来芬芳。

In heat of summer days

With sunshine all ablaze,

Here, here are cool green bowers, Starry with Jasmine flowers;

Sweet-scented, like a dream Of Fairyland they seem.

And when the long hot day At length has worn away, And twilight deepens, till

The darkness comes—then, still, The glimmering Jasmine white Gives fragrance to the night.

马蹄草 KINGCUP

金色的沼泽之王

春日盛典小精灵说：

“陛下，听说您的金杯闪亮，我们想看看。”

金色的国王之杯，我知道，你会微笑将他们请离!

不过，请人类小心，

如若人类闯入王国并且偷窃：

身陷那满载马蹄草的沼泽之地，他们可能会失去自己的靴子和鞋!

Golden King of marsh and swamp, Reigning in your springtime pomp, Hear the little elves you've found Trespassing on royal ground:

“Please, your Kingship, we were told Of your shining cups of gold;

So we came here, just to see-Not to rob your Majesty!”

Golden Kingcup, well I know You will smile and let them go!Yet let human folk beware

How they thieve and trespass there:

Kingcup-laden, they may lose

In the swamp their boots and shoes!

薰衣草 LAVENDER

“薰衣草是蓝色的，嘀哒哒，嘀哒哒”—歌中这般吟唱。

周身是灌木丛，嘀哒哒，嘀哒哒，蝴蝶也愿萦绕她身；

（它们很爱她，I 嘀哒哒，嘀哒哒，蜜蜂也如此；）

她于微风中摇曳，嘀哒哒，嘀哒哒!

“薰衣草之蓝，嘀哒哒，嘀哒哒，薰衣草之绿”；她为衣裳渲染芬芳，嘀哒哒，嘀哒哒，洗得干净-她将手帕和床单，一洗而净，嘀哒哒，嘀哒哒；薰衣草的花穗，嘀哒哒，嘀哒哒，

能让衣物都变得香甜!

“Lavender's blue, diddle diddle”So goes the song;

All round her bush, diddle diddle, Butterlies throng;

(They love her well, diddle diddle,

So do the bees;)

While she herself, diddle diddle, Sways in the breeze!

“Lavender's blue, diddle diddle,

Lavender's green”;

She'll scent the clothes, diddle diddle

Put away clean-

Clean from the wash, diddle diddle, Hanky and sheet;

Lavender's spikes, diddle diddle Make them all sweet!

锦葵 MALLOW

［注：与公园里常见的蜀葵同属不同种，更矮而且分枝多］

我是生长在此地的锦葵花；正向过路之人投去注目礼。

虽然我残破而泥泞不堪，

可我的种子是仙女的奶酪。

是最新鲜、最好吃的仙女奶酪!

I am Mallow; here sit I

Watching all the passers-by.

Though my leaves are torn and tattered, Dust-besprinkled, mud-bespattered, See, my seeds are fairy cheeses,

Freshest, finest, fairy cheeses!These are what an elf will munch For his supper or his lunch.Fairy housewives, going down To their busy market-town,

Hear me wheedling: “Lady, please, Pretty lady, buy a cheese!”

And I never find it matters

That I'm nicknamed Rags-and-Tatters,

For they buy my fairy cheeses, Freshest, finest, fairy cheeses!

万寿菊 MARIGOLD

红日高悬于空，

金光耀目，光芒万丈，

我那金色的花瓣，

闪耀夺目，但不似太阳。

我向天地播撒种子，

种落之处，金花萌芽；艳阳之下，百花齐放。我是如此爱着你，太阳，我转身目送你离去；若是无法沐浴阳光，便会丧失乐趣。

光芒万丈的太阳，俯视大地，赐我恩泽!

Great Sun above me in the sky, So golden, glorious, and high, My petals, see, are golden too;

They shine, but cannot shine like you.I scatter many seeds around;

And where they fall upon the ground,

More Marigolds will spring, more flowers To open wide in sunny hours.

It is because I love you so, I turn to watch you as you go;

Without your light, no joy could be.

Look down, great Sun, and shine on me.

水仙花 NARCISSUS

棕色的球茎被深深埋藏；

如今冬去春来，大地轻轻苏醒，迎来新生!

花枝摇曳；

纯洁如雪；

那如白昼的甜蜜之花经过夜的洗礼。

水仙带来了喜讯：冬去春来复活节将至!

Brown bulbs were buried deep;Now, from the kind old earth, Out of the winter's sleep,

Comes a new birth!

Flowers on stems that sway;Flowers of snowy white;

Flowers as sweet as day, After the night.

So does Narcissus bring

Tidings most glad and plain:“Winter's gone; here is Spring-Easter again!”

旱金莲 NASTURTIUM

欢乐的旱金莲花

哦，哦，哦!

他举起他的伞，像这样，像这样!

（躲避雨露，遮挡阳光）

在火红的花丛中，他笑意飞扬。

他爬上篱笆，

欢唱，欢唱!

整个夏天他都在游荡，令人开心，令人快乐。

直到夜霜袭人，秋叶飘零，

他走了，走了，走了，小伞也跟着凋零。

Nasturtium the jolly,

O ho, O ho!

He holds up his brolly Just so, just so!

(A shelter from showers, A shade from the sun;)

Mid flame-coloured flowers

He grins at the fun.

Up fences he scrambles, Sing hey, sing hey!

All summer he rambles

So gay, so gay-

Till the night-frost strikes chilly,

And Autumn leaves fall, And he's gone, willy-nilly, Umbrella and all.

兰花 ORCHIS

兰花家族，样貌奇怪。

他们身上的斑点与条纹，像极了蜜蜂、苍蝇或人。

有的开在温室，

有的生在异国他乡.但早时的紫色兰花盛开在英国牧场上。

他喜欢芳草清新的山顶。他呼吸着四月的空气；他认识小兔子，

也知道复活节兔、

云雀筑巢，羔羊咩咩，

牛角花与彩虹，阳光和露水。

温室里的兰花啊，你在多远之处!

哦，火红的热带兰花，那么遥远、那么遥远!

The families of orchids,

They are the strangest clan,

With spots and twists resembling A bee, or fly, or man;

And some are in the hot-house,

And some in foreign lands,

But early purple orchis

In english pasture stands.He loves the grassy hill-top, He breathes the april air;He knows the baby rabbits, He knows the easter hare, The nesting of the skylarks, The bleat of lambkins too,

The cowslips, and the rainbow,

The sunshine, and the dew.O orchids of the hot-house, What miles away you are!O flaming tropic orchids, How far, how very far!

三色堇 PANSY

三色堇和矮牵牛

蔓长春、康乃馨

我该如何从中选出最好的，我想这是个难题。

虞美人与胡椒罐，多肉植物，和豌豆—

虽然我不会将其他花朵轻视，

但三色堇不是最好的吗，

对P来说，这是最好的花朵吗?

黑色、棕色、天鹅绒，紫色、黄色、红色；

绽开在花园的温床上，

老少皆爱、园丁也都喜欢，

Pansy and Petunia,

Periwinkle, Pink-

How to choose the best of them, Leaving out the rest of them, That is hard, I think.

Poppy with its pepper-pots,

Polyanthus, Pea-

Though I wouldn't slight the rest,

Isn't Pansy quite the best, Quite the best for P?

Black and brown and velvety, Purple, yellow, red;

Loved by people big and small,

All who plant and dig at all In a garden bed.

长春花 PERIWINKLE

在蔽荫的灌木丛中，

新年伊始，

花朵初绽

哦，请仔细将它们寻觅!我的茎干纤细蔓延。

绿叶光有泽。

荒土也被点缀得翠绿如常。

我尚未美名千里，

可有谁不爱这长春花的碧蓝呢?

In shady shrubby places, Right early in the year, I lift my flowers' faces-O come and find them here!

My stems are thin and straying,

With leaves of glossy sheen,

The bare brown earth arraying, For they are ever-green.

松PINE TREE

松树高耸入云，树干明亮红褐

活泼的红尾松鼠，在林间跳跃。

松树之上松果悬挂，针叶尖锐翠绿；

松子隐匿其中，静待成熟。

树梢之上，精灵们在与松鼠们嬉戏玩闹，

她们将松果高高抛起，松鼠们蜂拥叼起——希望有幸窥得此景!

A tall, tall tree is the Pine tree,

With its trunk of bright red-brown-

The red of the merry squirrels

Who go scampering up and down.

There are cones on the tall, tall Pine tree, With its needles sharp and green;

Small seeds in the cones are hidden, And they ripen there unseen.

The elves play games with the squirrels

At the top of the tall, tall tree,

Throwing cones for the squirrels to nibble-I wish I were there to see!

康乃馨 PINK

［注：康乃馨是献给母亲或长者的花］

清晨之际，孩子们尚在沉睡，

深夜之时，夏夜的皎洁月亮之下，仙子们在忙些什么呢?

你若悄悄穿上魔法鞋去偷看，

很可能会发现一个秘密

在花园的边际，有些尚未为人知晓之景：

剪刀咔嚓作响，仙子们挥动着剪刀，

粉红的花边修剪!

粉色的康乃馨、白色的康乃馨

双色康乃馨和单色康乃馨，

看看我说得是否属实，

如果不是有人用心修裁，

那为什么称它们为康乃馨呢?

除了仙子的剪刀，

还有什么能将它们修裁得如此出色呢?

Early in the mornings,

When children still are sleeping,

Or late, late at night-time, Beneath the summer moon What are they doing,

The busy fairy people?

Could you creep to spy them,

In silent magic shoon,

You might learn a secret,

Among the garden borders, Something never guessed at, That no one knows or thinks:

Snip, snip, snip, go busy fairy scissors,

Pinking out the edges

Of the petals of the pinks!Pink pinks, white pinks, Double pinks, and single, -Look at them and see

If it's not the truth itell!

Why call them pinks

If they weren't pinked out by someone?

And what but fairy scissors

Could pink them out so well?

悬铃木 PLANE

［注：国人多称此树为法国梧桐］

你无法在丛林深处寻觅他，他也未曾光顾田野乡路；但在城市的公园与街道上，你会看到悬铃木的倩影。

噢，别将目光落在灰色的行道上请抬头瞧瞧，头顶之上.

悬铃木的果实在高高摇曳!

金黄的树叶随之而落，果实成熟缀满枝头。直到春天再度归来!

You will not find him in the wood. Nor in the country lane;

But in the city's parks and streets You'll see the Plane.

O turn your eyes from pavements grey,

And look you up instead,

To where the Plane tree's pretty balls Hang overhead!

When he has shed his golden leaves,

His balls will yet remain

To deck the tree until the Spring Comes back again!

虞美人 POPPY

［注：虞美人不光名字美，而且与毒品罂粟同属同科，但不同种。比毒品罂粟更美丽鲜艳，但通体纤细有毛，花头下垂，可兹鉴别。］

翠绿的小麦翻滚，云雀在高唱：

我身披绯红的丝绸，立于此地熠熠生辉。

麦子已经成熟，等待收割；小家伙们在呼喊着。

我寻驱赶鸟贼的小家伙。

如今收割结束，麦田一片空旷；

但是我依旧艳红瑰丽，站在那里。

The green wheat's a-growing, The lark sings on high;

In scarlet silk a-glowing;Here stand I.

The wheat's turning yellow, Ripening for sheaves;

I hear the little fellow

Who scares the bird-thieves.

Now the harvest's ended, The wheat-feld is bare;But still, red and splendid, I am there.

报春花 PRIMROSE

报春花在春天盛放，她的气味如此甜蜜而美好：

那是愉悦的芬芳，

在阳光明媚的小巷和树林里。

我要尽我所能赞美她，

可我的歌唱技巧连她一半的美好都无法企及。

这片土地上的生灵们都爱着她，

她是这般慷慨

把所有美好散布在每只伸向她的手上。

她的花辦苍白而洁净，

尽管她既不骄傲也不炫耀，

但……她绝对是田野之国的女王。

The Primrose opens wide in spring;Her scent is sweet and good:

It smells of every happy thing In sunny lane and wood.

I have not half the skill to sing And praise her as I should.

She's dear to folk throughout the land;

In her is nothing mean:

She freely spreads on every hand Her petals pale and clean.

And though she's neither proudr

grand,

She is the Country Queen.

玫瑰花 ROSE

绽放最美丽最可爱的花朵。完美的姿态，完美的芬芳：言语是永远无法描绘出玫瑰哪怕一半的美。芽孢轻启，层层开放的，是纯净的白，可爱的粉，或是熠熠生辉。

深沉而甜蜜的红。

玫瑰花的仙子是多么欢乐。

Best and dearest flower that grows, Perfect both to see and smell;

Words can never, never tell Half the beauty of a Rose-Buds that open to disclose

fa!yn seind Jo Prlog uo PI

Lovely pink, or red that glows

Deep, sweet-scented. What delight To be Fairy of the Rose.

草莓 STRAWBERRY

他是向日葵吗?

没错他很帅，那我呢?

身着红白相间的派对套装、提上参加盛宴的水果礼物：

那一颗颗小小的草莓。

鲜嫩甜美，

供女王与皇宫之人享用!

Is Sunflower he?

He's handsome, yes,

But what of me?-

In my party suit

Of red and white,

And a gift of fruit

For the feast tonight:

Strawberries small

And wild and sweet, For the Queen and all Of her Court to eat!

铁线莲 TRAVELLER'S JOY

行者，向着海港小镇，驶往大船停泊的地方。

我搭建花棚为你遮阳挡雨。

休息会儿就扬帆前行，

孩子们，愿快乐与你同在!

从异国之境归来之时。

我用花环，迎接你，

还有姑娘。

Traveller, traveller, tramping by

To the seaport town where the big ships lie,

See, I have built a shady bower

To shelter you from the sun or shower.Rest for a bit, then on, my boy!

Luck go with you, and Traveller's Joy!

Traveller, traveller, tramping home From foreign places beyond the foam See, I have hung out a white festoon To greet the lad with the dusty shoon.Somewhere a lass looks out for a boy:Luck be with you, and Traveller's Joy!

郁金香 TULIP

茎干挺拔向上，色彩鲜艳明亮；

红的、黄的、粉的、白的……色彩缤纷。有的绚丽多彩，有的犹如深黑的梅子。

我们远渡重洋，从郁金花田来到英格兰。

我们曾是荷兰的骄傲，那是和平的国度。

Our stalks are very straight and tall, Our colours clear and bright;

Too many-hued to name them all-Red, yellow, pink, or white.

And some are splashed, and some, maybe, As dark as any plum.

From tulip-fields across the sea To England did we come.

We were a peaceful country's pride, And Holland is its name.

Now in your gardens we abide-And aren't you glad we came?

荚蒾 WAYFARING

嫩芽尖处盛开出尘埃股的灰白之花.犹如旅途中忧心劳身的远古朝圣者。犹如星期四诞生的孩子，前途路漫长。

我屹立于此，

准备去仙境探索。

头巾、小包、鞋子，都与我的名字般配，手中还握着那色彩绚烂的果实。

My shoots are tipped with buds as dusty-grey As ancient pilgrims toiling on their way.

Like Thursday's child with far to go, I stand, All ready for the road to Fairyland;

With hood, and bag, and shoes, my name to suit, And in my hand my gorgeous-tinted fruit.

酢浆草 WOOD SORREL

参天巨树高耸，而仙子与花很渺小。

你和我，如此渺小……

不过，我们拥有爱。

In the wood the trees are tall, Up and up they tower;

You and I are very small-Fairy-child and flower.

Bracken stalks are shooting high, Far and far above us;

We are little, you and I, But the fairies love us.

百日菊 ZINNIA

［百日菊国人称百日草或节节高，生于路旁，花不甚艳，但可入药治疗疔疮］

生于花坛，

铜色，橙色，闪闪发光，华丽的表演由他们策划。

Pink or red;See them in the flower-bed, Copper, orange, all aglow, Making such a stately show.I, their fairy, say Good-bye, For the last of all am I.
