第27章 成熟的櫻桃

字體:16+-

Cherry-Ripe

[英]托馬斯·坎品

Thomas Campion

她的芳容有一座花園,

玫瑰和百合競相開放;

那個地方就是天堂,

到處都是美味的水果。

那裏的櫻桃無人可采購,

直到“成熟的櫻桃”歡呼到來。

明亮的珍珠排成兩行,

被櫻桃緊密圍繞。

她露出可愛的笑容,

就像雪中的玫瑰花蕾。

貴族和王子都不能買去,

直到“成熟的櫻桃”歡呼到來。

她的雙眼就像守衛櫻桃的天使;

她的蹙眉仿佛看守者,

闖入,就要被處死。

如有人企圖多看,或是采摘,

神聖的櫻桃就會發怒

直到“成熟的櫻桃”歡呼到來。

There is a garden in her face,

Where roses and white lilies grow;

A heavenly paradise is that place,

Wherein all pleasant fruits do flow.

There cherries grow which none may buy,

Till 'Cherry-ripe'themselves do cry.

Those cherries fairly do enclose

Of orient pearl a double row,

Which when her lovely laughter shows,

They look like rosebuds filled with snow.

Yet them nor peer nor prince can buy,

Till 'Cherry-ripe'themselves do cry.

Her eyes like angels watch them still;

Her brows like bended bows do stand,

Threatening with piercing frowns to kill

All that attempt with eye or hand

Those sacred cherries to come nigh,

Till 'Cherry-ripe'themselves do cry.
