Dickinson (USA)
If I can save a sad heart,
I didn't waste my life.
If I can comfort a miserable life,
Get warm in bitterness,
Or let a fainting robin
Back to the nest,
I didn't waste my life.
(translated by Zhang Ru)

Thanks for the tip
The poet uses three hypotheses: to save a sad heart, to comfort and warm a miserable life, and to return the fainting robin to its nest, which shows the author's sympathy and concern for people and life. She hopes to bring comfort and warmth, hope and joy to life and show her love. After careful reading, the tone of the poem is sad and full of sadness, but her love is touching. At the same time, the structure of poetry is patchy, giving people a sense of beauty.
