绘本菜园里，泥土中(UpintheGarden,DownintheDirt)(10)

When Grandpa calls us in for soup, an autumn moon is rising.
Up in the garden, dry cornstalks tremble(玉米秆在颤动), and the wind smells like winter.
But the long ripe days of summer still rest in the garden beds.
The ladybugs and bumblebees(熊蜂), earthworms and ants are hunkered down("收起了"腿), hiding(躲藏着)...
biding their time(等待时机)...

dreaming of sunshine and blossoms and sprouts(发芽).
Under the bare arms of trees(光秃秃的树木) and the blanketing snow, a whole new garden sleeps down in the dirt.
