Moonlight

Sarah Teasdale

It will not hurt me when I am old,
A running tide where moonlight burned
Will not sting me like silver snakes;
The years will make me sad and cold,
It is the happy heart that breaks.

The heart asks more than life can give,
When that is learned, then all is learned;
The waves break fold on jewelled fold,
But beauty itself is fugitive,
It will not hurt me when I am old.


月光

作者：莎拉·蒂斯代尔
翻译：苑眉

当我老时，一切将伤害不到我，
月光灼燃，奔涌的潮汐
将不会像银蛇般刺痛我；
岁月将让我变得忧伤而冷漠，
破碎的是那快乐的心儿。

心儿索求的总多于生活所给予，
当明白这点，也便明白全部；
浪涛敲碎层层华丽皱折，
而美自身之无常易逝，
当我老时，一切将伤害不到我。
