To Aurora
[蘇格蘭]威廉·亞曆山大
William Alexander
哦,如果你知道如何傷害自己,
預知幸福,打亂我的平靜,
你胸中的冰便即將融化,
你寬厚的胸膛是多麽溫暖。
哦,如果你的驕傲不能阻止快樂,
你將看不到愛的奇跡世界!
如果你將自己托付於我,
我將把靈魂全部傾注在你的胸懷;
於是,我的思潮在你的容顏上閃光,
如果你承受痛苦,不要抱怨。
不要獨自背負痛苦的重擔;
不,我要與你同甘共苦:
當我們如此將悲哀融合,
這快樂的融洽將使它們全部消失。
O if thou knew'st how thou thyself dost harm,
And dost prejudge thy bliss, and spoil my rest;
Then thou would'st melt the ice out of thy breast
And thy relenting heart would kindly warm.
O if thy pride did not our joys controul,
What world of loving wonders should'st thou see!
For if I saw thee once transform'd in me,
Then in thy bosom I would pour my soul;
Then all my thoughts should in thy visage shine,
And if that aught mischanced thou should'st not moan
Nor bear the burthen of thy griefs alone;
No, I would have my share in what were thine:
And whilst we thus should make our sorrows one,
This happy harmony would make them none.
