Silent Noon
[英]但丁·加布裏埃爾·羅塞蒂
Dante Gabriel Rossetti
你的手伸展在鮮嫩的長草裏
指尖如玫瑰花一樣透明：
你的眼睛漾著恬靜的微笑。
雲海洶湧的長空下，
牧場時而閃爍，時而暗淡。
在我們的巢穴周圍，在我們的視野之內，
是鑲著銀邊的金黃色的驢蹄草，是峨參環繞的山毛櫸籬笆。
這可見的沉靜，沙漏一般的沉靜。
陽光追逐的枝苗深處，掛著一隻蜻蜓，
像天空撒了手的藍線；
像這生著翅膀的時光從我們頭頂降落。
啊！心貼心地抱緊我們吧，為了這不朽的饋贈，
這親密相伴的沉默時光，
雙重的沉默就是一首愛情之歌。
Your hands lie open in the long fresh grass，—
The finger-points look through like rosy blooms：
Your eyes smile peace. The pasture gleams and glooms
'Neath billowing skies that scatter and amass.
All round our nest， far as the eye can pass，
Are golden kingcup-fields with silver edge
Where the cow-parsley skirts the hawthorn-hedge.
'Tis visible silence， still as the hour-glass.
Deep in the sun-searched growths the dragon-fly
Hangs like a blue-thread loosened from the sky；
So this wing'd hour is dropt to us from above.
Oh！Clasp we to our hearts， for deathless dower，
This close-companioned inarticulate hour
When two-fold silence was the song of love.
