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,
