At Midnight

Sarah Teasdale

Now at last I have come to see what life is,
Nothing is ever ended, everything only begun,
And the brave victories that seem so splendid
Are never really won.

Even love that I built my spirit's house for,
Comes like a brooding and a baffled guest,
And music and men's praise and even laughter
Are not so good as rest.


午夜

如今我终于明白什么是生活，
万事没有结束，只有开始，
而看似辉煌英勇的胜利
从未真正胜利。

即便我曾为其建筑了灵魂住宅的爱情
像一位郁郁而困惑的客人，来了，
而音乐和人们的赞美，甚至笑声
都不及静静歇着。
