野生的金银花（英语格律诗试译）

美丽的花儿你清秀地成长，
默默无言地隐居，暗淡地退休，
那饱含蜜露的花朵盛开，无人欣赏，
你那纤细的枝叶致意无人问津悠悠；
没有移动的脚步会在这儿制造罪过，
没有繁忙的人手把你撕破。

天生自己洁白的打扮，
造物主吩咐你避开粗俗的眼光，
并把你种植这里在保护人遮蔽下备案，
又送来喃喃自语的温柔流水欢欢；
就这样你在那炎热的夏天度日如年----
白昼衰弱便于睡眠。

尽善尽美的魅力，注定也得腐败，
我为见到你未来的命运感到悲伤；
生灵总要消逝----难道花儿会更鲜艳夺目还在----
鲜花本应当在伊甸园开放；
那无隐测之心的霜冻及秋之势
不会对这花样留下痕迹。

在晨曦和晚露里浓如酒
你那细小的生命降临
倘若曾经什么也没有，你还不是损失了一无所有，
因为当你死去，你还是同一的魂灵；
宇宙空间只不过片刻再现，
花种那脆弱的期限。

（附英语原诗：）
The Wild Honeysuckle. By P. FRENEAU.

Fair flower, that dost so comely grow,
Hid in this silent, dull retreat,
Untouched thy honey'd blossoms blow,
Unseen thy little branches greet;
No roving foot shall crush thee here,
No busy hand provoke a tear.

By Nature's self in white arrayed,
She bade thee shun the vulgar eye,
And planted here the guardian shade,
And sent soft waters murmuring by;
Thus quietly thy summer goes,--
Thy days declining to repose.

Smile with those charms, that must decay,
I grieve to see your future doom;
They died--nor were those flowers more gay--
The flowers that did in Eden bloom;
Unpitying frosts and Autumn's power
Shall leave no vestige of this flower.

From morning suns and evening dews
At first thy little being came;
If nothing once, you nothing lose,
For when you die you are the same;
The space between is but an hour,
The frail duration of a flower.
