A Maiden

Sarah Teasdale

Oh if I were the velvet rose
Upon the red rose vine,
I'd climb to touch his window
And make his casement fine.

And if I were the little bird
That twitters on the tree,
All day I'd sing my love for him
Till he should harken me.

But since I am a maiden
I go with downcast eyes,
And he will never hear the songs
That he has turned to sighs.

And since I am a maiden
My love will never know
That I could kiss him with a mouth
More red than roses blow.


少女

作者：莎拉·蒂斯代尔
翻译：苑眉

噢，如果我是玫瑰藤上
那天鹅绒般的红玫瑰，
我将爬上他的窗扉
把它打扮得美美。

如果我是那小小鸟儿
啁啾林木中，
我将尽日歌唱对他的爱
直到他把我聆听。

但因为我是个少女，
我将双眸低低垂视，
他决不会听到那些歌儿
他已回转身叹息。

而因为我是个少女，
我的爱人决不会明白
我可以给他的吻
红胜风中的玫瑰。
