（单词翻译）

William Carlos Williams (1883-1963)


Old age is


a flight of small


cheeping birds


skimming


bare trees


above a snow glaze1.


Gaining and failing


they are buffeted2


by a dark wind --


But what?


On harsh weedstalks


the flock has rested --


the snow


is covered with broken


seed husks


and the wind tempered


with a shrill3


piping of plenty.
