The mallard ducks are down

绿头鸭落下来

for the night. They chuckle

过夜。它们睡着后

in their sleep and dream of Mexico

笑得咯咯响，梦到了墨西哥

and Honduras. Watercress

和洪都拉斯。水田芥

nods in the irrigation ditch

在灌溉渠里点头，

and the tules slump forward, heavy

灯芯草往前倾着，因为

with blackbirds

乌鸫落到上面而沉甸甸的。

Rice fields float under the moon.

稻田在月光下浮动。

Even the maple leaves cling

就连湿漉漉的枫树叶也来贴着

to my windshield. I tell you Maryann,

我的挡风玻璃。我跟你说玛丽安，

I am happy.

我心情愉快。
