第48章 我不愛你

字體:16+-

I Do Not Love Thee

[愛爾蘭]卡羅琳·伊麗莎白·薩拉·諾頓

Caroline Elizabeth Sarah Norton

我不愛你!——不!我並不愛你!

但你離去,我仍會傷心,

你頭上的晴空,我也心生嫉妒,

寧靜的星辰看到你,也那麽開心。

我不愛你!——原因不得而知,

在我看來,你所做的一切都是那麽完美,

我常常獨自歎息,

我的愛人無法與你媲美!

我不愛你!——但當你離去

我便憎恨那聲音(雖然那麽甜蜜)

它卻打亂了這繞梁不絕的餘音,

你音樂般美妙的聲音縈繞在我耳邊。

我不愛你!——你那雙會說話的眼睛

深邃,明亮,帶著極富表現力的碧藍,

頻繁升起在我午夜的蒼穹

我所見的任何眼睛也不及此。

我知道我並不愛你!但是,唉!

我坦率的真誠卻無人相信;

我常會發覺人們微笑而過,

因為他們看到我正凝視著你。

I do not love thee!—no!I do not love thee!

And yet when thou art absent I am sad;

And envy even the bright blue sky above thee,

Whose quiet stars may see thee and be glad.

I do not love thee!—yet, I know not why,

Whate'er thou dost seems still well done, to me:

And often in my solitude I sigh

That those I do love are not more like thee!

I do not love thee!—yet, when thou art gone,

I hate the sound (though those who speak be dear)

Which breaks the lingering echo of the tone

Thy voice of music leaves upon my ear.

I do not love thee!—yet thy speaking eyes,

With their deep, bright, and most expressive blue,

Between me and the midnight heaven arise,

Oftener than any eyes I ever knew.

I know I do not love thee!yet, alas!

Others will scarcely trust my candid heart;
