Never Seek to Tell Thy Love
[英]威廉·布萊克
William Blake
不要輕易表達你心中的愛意,
那是一種無言的愛;
看那微風在飄搖
輕輕地,不留一絲痕跡。
我表達了心意,我表達了心意,
我訴說了心中的全部;
發抖、寒冷、死亡般的恐懼,
唉!她竟飄然遠去。
不久前,她離我而去,
一位旅者與我擦肩而過,
輕輕地,不留一絲痕跡:
一聲輕歎,美人與歸。
Never seek to tell thy love,
Love that never told can be;
For the gentle wind doth move
Silently, invisibly,
I told my love, I told my love,
I told her all my heart;
Trembling, cold, in ghastly fears,
Ah!she did depart.
Soon after she was gone from me,
A traveller came by,
Silently, invisibly:
He took her with a sigh.
