英语名篇名段背诵精华60 A Girl

The tree has entered my hands,

The sap has ascended¹ my arms,

The tree has grown in my breast-

Downward,

The branches grow out of me, like arms.

Tree you are,

Moss² you are,

You are violets with wind above them.

A child - so high - you are,

And all this is folly³ to the world.

By Ezra Pound
