第28章 秘密的愛戀

字體:16+-

Secret Love

[英]約翰·克萊爾

John Clare

年輕時的我,將自己的愛隱藏,

無法忍受蒼蠅的嗡嗡聲;

我把愛隱藏起來,

直到我連光明也無法正視;

我不敢凝視她的臉龐,

而把對她的思念留在每個地方;

隻要我看到一朵野花,

便會留下我的吻,親切告別。

我和她在幽穀的最深處相遇,

漿果上布滿了露珠兒;

微風輕拂著她明亮的藍色眼睛,

蜜蜂親吻著,唱著歌兒離去,

一束陽光在那兒找到了出口,

金色的光環圍繞在她的頸部,那麽美麗,

就像野蜂的歌兒那樣神秘,

她在那兒躺了一個夏天。

我將愛情藏於原野和城鎮,

以至於一陣風兒都能把我吹倒;

蜜蜂都唱起了歌兒,

蒼蠅的親吻壓住了獅子的怒吼;

甚至沉默都找到了語言;

縈繞我整個夏天,

大自然都無法探明的秘密,

不是別的,就是秘密的愛戀。

I hid my love when young while I

Couldn't bear the buzzing of a fly;

I hid my love to my despite

Till I could not bear to look at light:

I dare not gaze upon her face

But left her memory in each place;

Where'er I saw a wild flower lie

I kissed and bade my love good-bye.

I met her in the greenest dells,

Where dewdrops pearl the wood bluebells;

The lost breeze kissed her bright blue eye,

The bee kissed and went singing by,

A sunbeam found a passage there,

A gold chain round her neck so fair;

As secret as the wild bee's song

She lay there all the summer long.

I hid my love in field and town

Till e'en the breeze would knock me down;

The bees seemed singing ballads o'er,

The fly's buss turned a lion's roar;

And even silence found a tongue,
