[英]波西·比希·雪萊

Percy Bysshe Shelley

有一個字總是遭人褻瀆,

但我不會這樣做。

有一種感覺遭人假意鄙棄,

你不會這樣做;

有一種希望猶如絕望,

仔細斟酌會令人窒息,

你的同情心無人能比,

令我的心備受寵愛。

我不能賦予你所謂的愛,

但你能否接受它。

一顆心仰慕著你

上帝也不會拒絕。

那是飛蛾對繁星的期望,

如同夜晚愛慕白晝,

那是一種熱愛,

從我的悲痛中解脫。

One word is too often profaned

For me to profane it,

One feeling too falsely disdain'd

For thee to disdain it;

One hope is too like despair

For prudence to smother,

And pity from thee more dear

Than that from another.

I can not give what men call love

But wilt thou accept not

The worship the heart lifts above

And the heavens reject not.

And the desire of the moth for the star,

Of the night for the morrow,

The devotion to something afar

From the sphere of our sorrow.
