  Carentan O Carentan

关于英文诗歌欣赏

  by Louis Simpson

  Trees in the old days used to stand

  And shape a shady lane

  Where lovers wandered hand in hand

  Who came from Carentan.

  This was the shining green canal

  Where we came two by two

  Walking at combat-interval.

  Such trees we never knew.

  The day was early June, the ground

  Was soft and bright with dew.

  Far away the guns did sound,

  But here the sky was blue.

  The sky was blue, but there a smoke

  Hung still above the sea

  Where the ships together spoke

  To towns we could not see.

  Could you have seen us through a glass

  You would have said a walk

  Of farmers out to turn the grass,

  Each with his own hay-fork.

  The watchers in their leopard suits

  Waited till it was time,

  And aimed between the belt and boot

  And let the barrel climb.

  I must lie down at once, there is

  A hammer at my knee.

  And call it death or cowardice,

  Don't count again on me.

  Everything's all right, Mother,

  Everyone gets the same

  At one time or another.

  It's all in the game.

  I never strolled, nor ever shall,

  Down such a leafy lane.

  I never drank in a canal,

  Nor ever shall again.

  There is a whistling in the leaves

  And it is not the wind,

  The twigs are falling from the knives

  That cut men to the ground.

  Tell me, Master-Sergeant,

  The way to turn and shoot.

  But the Sergeant's silent

  That taught me how to do it.

  O Captain, show us quickly

  Our place upon the map.

  But the Captain's sickly

  And taking a long nap.

  Lieutenant, what's my duty,

  My place in the platoon?

  He too's a sleeping beauty,

  Charmed by that strange tune.

  Carentan O Carentan

  Before we met with you

  We never yet had lost a man

  Or known what death could do.
