Theme in Yellow
by Carl Sandburg

I spot the hills
With yellow balls in autumn.
I light the prairie cornfields
Orange and tawny gold clusters
And I am called pumpkins.
On the last of October
When dusk is fallen
Children join hands
And circle round me
Singing ghost songs
And love to the harvest moon
I am a jack-o'-lantern
With terrible teeth
And the children know
I am fooling.

黄色的主题
——卡尔·桑德堡

我点缀着山丘
连同秋天的黄球
我照亮干原上的玉蜀地
柑橘和金黄色的团簇
人们称我是南瓜
在十月的最后一天
当夜幕降临
孩子们手拉着手
环绕着我
唱“鬼节”之歌
歌颂丰收的圆月
我是鬼节的灯笼
咧着历历的獠牙
然而孩子们明白
我是在闹着玩。
