Song--英國詩人Christina Rossetti

英國詩人Christina Rossetti
徐志摩 譯

Song
When I am dead, my dearest,
Sing no sad songs for me;
Plant thou no roses at my head,
Nor shady cypress tree:
Be the green grass above me
With showers and dewdrops wet;
And if thou wilt, remember,
And if thou wilt, forget. I shall not see the shadows,
I shall not feel the rain;
I shall not hear the nightingale
Sing on, as if in pain:
And dreaming through the twilight
That doth not rise nor set,
Haply I may remember,
And haply may forget.

我死了的時候　親愛的
別為我唱悲傷的歌
我墳上不必安插薔薇
也無須濃蔭的柏樹
讓蓋著我的青青的草
淋著雨　也沾著露珠
假如你願意　請記著我
要是你甘心　忘了我

我再不見地面的清蔭
覺不到雨露的甜蜜
再聽不見夜鶯的歌喉
在黑夜裡傾吐悲啼
在悠久的昏暮中迷惘
陽光不升起也不消翳
我也許　也許我記得你
我也許　我也許忘記
