· 当你抬头望星星
当你抬头望星星
我的爱人我愿成为天空Up at the stars thou art gazing
O love would I might be
可以用千万只眼睛好好将你打量Heaven that with thousand eyes
I might look back on thee
· 一部诗集
在树干下面一部诗章A Book of Verses underneath the Bough
一壶酒一块面包这荒芜的地方A Jug of Wine a Loaf of Bread and Thou
还有你在我身旁高歌Beside me singing in the Wilderness
啊荒野也就变成了天堂Oh Wilderness were Paradise enow
· 如果命中注定
如果命中注定我们分离If it be destined that my Life from thine
我的生命依然会留恋着你Divided yet with thine shall linger on
直到天色已晚暮色降临Till in the later twilight of Decline
你的眼睛已经光华不再I may behold those Eyes their luster gone
当垂在额前的金黄色的秀发When the gold tresses that enrich thy brow
逐渐褪色变成了银丝Shall all be faded into silver-grey
现在曾装饰秀发的花冠From which the wreaths that well bedeck them now
经过多少寒暑早已不见For many a Summer shall have fall'n away
这时我才敢在你的耳边低诉Then should I dare to whisper in your ears
倾诉长久以来深藏的情感The pent-up passion of so long ago
所以爱情可以
幸免于岁月的流逝That Love which hath survived
the wreck of years
它也不再有祈求和馈赠Hath little else to pray for or bestow
请你不要对
这颗破碎的心拒绝赐予Thou wilt not to the broken heart deny
那声迟到的
仁慈的叹息带来的恩惠The boon of one too-late relenting Sigh
· 沉默的情人
激情好似流水Passions are liken'd best to floods and streams
浅水低语而深水沉默The shallow murmur but the deep are dumb
所以感情若是倾吐So when affection yields discourse it seems
心底便了无深情The bottom is but shallow whence they come
情话如若滔滔不绝They that are rich in words in words discover
爱意实际虚假浅薄That they are poor in that which makes a lover
· 短歌
意中人把心交给了我
我的交给了他My true-love hath my heart and I have his
我们俩以心交心心心相印By just exchange one for the other given
我对他实心实意
他也不会把我丢下I hold his dear and mine he cannot miss
这样的海誓山盟世间难寻There never was a better bargain driven
意中人把心交给了我
我的交给了他My true-love hath my heart and I have his
我保有他的心意
让我们合二为一His heart in me keeps him and me in one
他保有我的心意
成为他心思的向导My heart in him his thoughts
and senses guides
他爱我的心
因它曾在他的胸膛里跳动He loves my heart
for once it was his own
我珍爱他的心
因为它现在占据我的胸膛I cherish his because in me it bides
意中人把心交给了我
我的交给了他My true-love hath my heart and I have his
· 当科琳娜和着诗琴唱歌
当科琳娜和着诗琴唱歌When to her lute Corinna sings
她的歌声让死寂的琴弦复活Her voice revives the leaden strings
发出了高亢激昂的旋律And doth in highest notes appear
就像受到挑战的回声般清晰As any challenged echo clear
但当她说起痛苦和忧伤But when she doth of mourning speak
琴弦竟因为她的叹息而中断Even with her sighs the strings do break
我不免与她的琴弦一样And as her lute doth live or die
生或者死任由她情感的主张Led by her passion so must I
因为每当她把欢乐吟唱For when of pleasure she doth sing
我的心里顿时出现一派春光My thoughts enjoy a sudden spring
但如果她说起伤心之事But if she doth of sorrow speak
甚至我心中的琴弦也会中断Even from my heart the strings do break
· 她的脸上有一座花园
她的脸上有一座花园There is a garden in her face
盛开着洁白的百合和玫瑰Where roses and white lilies grow
那里是神圣的天堂般的地点A heavenly paradise is that place
无数甘美的果实累累Wherein all pleasant fruits do flow
这里的樱桃成熟无人采摘There cherries grow which none may buy
除非它们大呼樱桃已熟Till Cherry ripe themselves do cry
这些樱桃娇艳无比Those cherries fairly do enclose
像玫瑰花蕾鲜红透着雪白Of orient pearl a double row
迷人的笑声荡漾Which when her lovely laughter shows
灿烂的明珠镶嵌成排They look like rosebuds filled with snow
王孙公子都无法采摘Yet them nor peer nor prince can buy
除非它们大呼樱桃已熟Till Cherry ripe themselves do cry
她的眼睛看着他们
像守护的天使Her eyes like angels watch them still
她的眉毛像张开的弓箭Her brows like bended bows do stand
谁妄想觊觎神圣的果实Threatening with piercing frowns to kill
无论用手摘取或是窥见All that attempt with eye or hand
都有被射中死亡的危险Those sacred cherries to come nigh
除非它们大呼樱桃已熟Till Cherry ripe themselves do cry
· 致艾莱克特拉
我不敢求得一吻I dare not ask a kiss
我不敢请你一笑I dare not beg a smile
一旦达成愿望Lest having that or this
我会变得骄傲I might grow proud the while
不不在我心里No no the utmost share
最大的心愿就是Of my desire shall be
亲吻那些空气Only to kiss that air
因为它刚刚吻了你That lately kissed thee
· 快摘玫瑰蕾
快摘玫瑰蕾Gather ye rose-buds while ye may
趁年少韶光飞逝不停Old Time is still a-flying
今朝花儿含笑And this same flower that smiles to-day
明朝却已凋零To-morrow will be dying
太阳灿烂天之灯The glorious Lamp of Heaven the Sun
升得愈高The higher he's a-getting
愈快结束行程The sooner will his race be run
愈近日薄西山And nearer he's to setting
年轻时风华正茂That age is best which is the first
正值热血沸腾When youth and blood are warmer
年华逝去越来越糟But being spent the worse and worst
时光仍要继续Times still succeed the former
所以别怕羞把握时机Then be not coy but use your time
趁年轻快结连理And while ye may go marry
一旦错过年华老去For having lost but once your prime
你会蹉跎不已You may for ever tarry
· 致雏菊 · 勿太早合拢
千万别合拢得那么早Shut not so soon the dull-ey'd night
眼神迟滞的黑夜Has not as yet begun
还没有开始将日光收掉To make a seizure on the light
或者将太阳熄灭Or to seal up the sun
金盏花都还没有合拢No marigolds yet closed are
影子还没出现No shadows great appear
升起最早的牧羊人之星Nor doth the early Shepherds Star
也没有亮闪闪Shine like a spangle here
等到我的朱丽娅闭合Stay but till my Julia close
那让人获得生机的双眼Her life-begetting eye
世界万物要死还是要活And let the whole world then dispose
它们自己可以随便Itself to live or die
· 爱我不要因为我英俊潇洒
爱我不要因为我英俊潇洒Love not me for comely grace
不要因为好看的眼睛或面庞For my pleasing eye or face
不要因为任何外表的漂亮Nor for any outward part
不也不要因为我坚贞的心灵No nor for my constant heart
因为这一切都会消逝或变质For these may fail or turn to ill
所以你和我应该分开So thou and I shall sever
保持一个女人真正的眼光Keep therefore a true woman's eye
请依然爱我但不要知道为了什么And love me still but know not why
你的理由只有一个So hast thou the same reason still
对我的钟爱永世长存To doat upon me ever

她住在人迹罕至的地方She dwelt among the untrodden ways
紧紧挨着野鸽泉Beside the springs of Dove
没人将这个姑娘夸奖A Maid whom there were none to praise
也很少有人爱恋And very few to love

身处熙熙攘攘的人世间The worldly bustle to my ear
我耳边久久地回响着
你温柔的声音For long your tender voice kept sounding
我还在梦中见到你可爱的面容For long in dreams came features dear
斗转星移暴风骤雨驱散了Time passed Unruly storms confounded
往日的梦想年复一年Old dreams and I from year to year
我忘却了你温柔的声音Forgot how tender you had sounded
还有你那天仙一样亲切的面容Your heavenly features once so dear
在穷乡僻壤
在阴暗压抑的囚禁中My backwoods days dragged slow and quiet
我的日子慢慢消逝悄然无声Dull fence around dark vault above

我的灵魂已开始苏醒Sleep from my soul began retreating
你又重新出现在我面前And here you once again appear
有如昙花一现的幻影Before me like a vision fleeting
天使般纯洁恬静A beauty's angel pure and clear
我的心在狂喜中跳动In ecstasy my heart is beating

它们的柔波
和曾经幽深的光影Your eyes had once and of their shadows deep
多少人用真心或假意爱过How many loved your moments of glad grace
你的美貌俏丽短暂的青春And loved your beauty with love false or true
但只有一人爱你朝圣者的灵魂But one man loved
the pilgrim soul in you
爱你渐渐衰老的脸上的悲戚And loved the sorrows of your changing face
当你佝偻着身体在炽热的火炉边And bending down
beside the glowing bars
带着一点伤感喃喃诉说爱情如何Murmur a little sadly how Love fled
消逝如今只能登上高高的山峦And paced upon the mountains overhead
在密密的繁星中埋下他的脸And hid his face amid a crowd of stars
· 十四行诗·十八
我能否把你比作夏日Shall I compare thee to a summer's day
你比夏日更可爱更温婉Thou art more lovely and more temperate
狂风会摇落五月的娇蕊Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May
夏日的期限也过于短暂And summer's lease hath all too short a date
有时天上的眼睛过于灼热Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines
它金色的面容也常黯淡And often is his gold complexion dimm'd
凡美好之物终将褪去美好And every fair from fair sometime declines
因机缘或自然的变迁而凋残By chance or nature's changing course
untrimm'd
但你的永恒之夏不会凋谢But thy eternal summer shall not fade
不会失去你所拥有的美Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st
死亡亦不能夸口
你在其荫下徘徊Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade
因你在永恒的诗行中
与时间同长When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st
只要人还能呼吸眼睛还能看见So long as men can breathe
or eyes can see
这诗就活着并给予你生命So long lives this and this gives life to thee
