The Peace of Wild Things When despair grows in me and I wake in the middle of the night at the least sound in fear of what my life and my childrens lives may be, I go and lie down where the wood drake rests in his beauty on the water, and the great heron feeds. I come into the peace of wild things who do not tax their lives with forethought of grief. I come into the presence of still water. And I feel above me the day-blind stars waiting for their light. For a time I rest in the grace of the world, and am free. 大自然的安宁 当我内心变得绝望 我在寂静的午夜醒来， 担忧我和我孩子们的生活， 我走出家门，在林中躺下 美丽的野鸭在湖中安憩，巨大的鹭鸶在觅食。 我融入大自然的安宁 这里的生命不会担忧它们的生活。 我面对宁静的湖面。 我感到白昼般耀眼的星星 正在等待着它们的光明。 这时，我安息于世界的恩典之中，我自由了。
