门前的树

门前两棵树，一棵有事故
当年雷电闪，大树劈两半
难得有心人，取绳捆树干
从此深秋日，满地红叶毯

英文版：Maple Tree

Two maple trees
stand in the yard
One of them
has a story to tell

Once upon a time
a stormy night
thunder split the maple tree
branches fell on the side

The old man
took out ropes
wrapped the broken branches
together and tight

Year after year
Spring comes
the old man sprayed the branches
Maple tree stood
upright and high

Year after year
Fall comes
maple tree dresses in fire red leaves
with a thick red blanket
around its foot
