白朗宁夫人抒情十四行诗集第七首








The face of all the world is changed, I think,

全世界的面目，我想，忽然改变了，

Since first I heard of the footsteps of thy soul

自从我第一次在心灵上听到你的步子

Move still, oh, still, beside me, as they stole

轻轻、轻轻，来到我身旁－－穿过我和

betwixt me and the dreadful outer brink

死亡的边缘：那幽微的间隙。站在

Of obvious death, where I, who thought to sink,

那里的我，只道这一回该倒下了，

Was caught up into love, and taught the whole

却不料被爱救起，还教给一曲

Of life in a new rhythm. The cup of dole

生命的新歌。上帝赐我洗礼的

God gave for baptism, I am fain to drink,

那一杯苦酒，我甘愿饮下，赞美它

And praise its sweetness, Sweet, with thee anear.

甜蜜－－甜蜜的，如果有你在我身旁。

The names of a country, heaven, are changed away

天国和人间，将因为你的存在

For where thou art or shalt be, there or here;

而更改模样；而这曲歌，这支笛，

And this ... this lute and song ... loved yesterday

昨日里给爱着，还让人感到亲切，

( The singing angels know ) are only dear

那歌唱的天使知道，就因为

Because thy name moves right in what they say.

一声声都有你的名字在荡漾。
