The Miller's Daughter
[英]阿爾弗萊德·丁尼生
Alfred Tennyson
那是磨坊主的女兒，
她是如此的美麗。
我願是她耳墜上
搖曳的珠寶，
晝夜隱藏在她的發間，
觸摸她那溫暖白皙的脖頸。
我願是她美麗纖腰上
環繞的腰帶，
當她憂傷或平靜時，
我可以感受到她的心跳；
要想知道她的心跳怎樣，
我會緊緊將她擁抱。
我願是她芳香胸前
佩戴的項鏈，
伴隨她的歡笑和歎息
整日起伏不定，
就讓我輕輕地躺在那裏，輕輕地，
但願夜裏她也不將我摘下。
It is the miller's daughter，
And she is grown so dear， so dear，
That I would be the jewel
That trembles at her ear：
For hid in ringlets day and night，
I'd touch her neck so warm and white.
And I would be the girdle
About her dainty dainty waist，
And her heart would beat against me
In sorrow and in rest：
And I should know if it beat right，
I'd clasp it round so close and tight.
And I would be the necklace，
And all day long to fall and rise
Upon her balmy bosom，
With her laughter or her sighs，
And I would lie so light， so light，
I scarce should be unclasp'd at night.
