如果你能在秋天到来（2/2）

这像毒蜂一样把我刺痛，

而它并未亮出它的毒刺。

If you were gthe fall,

I’d brh the sur by

With half a sile and half a spurn,

As hoewives do a fly.

If I uld see youa year,

I’d d the onthsballs,

And put the eachseparate drawers,

Until their ti befalls.

If only turies deyed,

I’d unt the on y hand,

Subtractg till y fgers dropped

Into Van Dien’s nd.

If certa when this life was out,

That yours and e should be,

I’d toss it yonder like a rd,

And taste eternity.

But now all ignorant of the length

Of ti’s ua g,

It goadslike the gobl bee,

That will not state its stg.

作品赏析

开篇，诗中的女孩一方面抒发了自己期待与爱人相逢的急切心情：如果对方能在秋天到来，她就要“拂”掉夏天，以加快秋天的到来。另一方面，她也表示自己愿意等待对方，几个世纪对她来说也像是弹指之间。最后她还表示，为了相逢，她可以舍弃生命；而由于无法确定相逢的日期，这对她来说是狠狠的一击。
