There is but one May in the year

There is but one May in the year,

And sometimes May is wet and cold;

There is but one May in the year

Before the year grows old.

Yet though it be the chilliest May,

With least of sun and most of showers,

Its wind and dew, its night and day,

Bring up the flowers.

———————————————————

一年中只有一个五月，

有时五月又湿又冷；

一年中只有一个五月，

在一年老去之前。

然而，尽管五月可能最为寒冷，

阳光最少，雨水最多，

但它的风和露水，它的黑夜和白昼，

却能催开花朵。
