Lines

When the lamp is shattered,
The light in the dust lies dead;
When the cloud is scattered,
The rainbow’s glory is shed;
When the lute is broken,
Sweet tones are remembered not;
When the lips have spoken,
Loved accents are soon forgot.

As music and splendor
Survive not the lamp and the lute,
The heart’s echoes render
No song when the spirit is mute:---
No song but sad dirges,
Like the wind through a ruined cell,
Or the mournful surges
That ring the dead seaman’s knell.

When hearts have once mingled,
Love first leaves the well-built nest;
The weak one is singled
To endure what it once possessed.
O Love! who bewailest*
The frailty of all things here,
Why choose you the frailest
For your cradle, your home, and your bier?

Its passions will rock thee,
As the storms rock the ravens on high;
Bright reason will mock thee,
Like the sun from a wintry sky.
From thy nest every rafter
Will rot, and thine eagle home
Leave thee naked to laughter,
When leaves fall and cold winds come.

注 bewailest: laments

愛的悲歌

明燈一旦破碎,
光亮隨着熄滅;
雲霧一旦消散,
彩虹的輝耀難再搖曳;
古瑟一旦損毀,
就把動人的琴曲忘卻;
纏綿的話語剛剛出口,
愛侶就恩斷情絕。

燈碎光不再,
琴破曲亦歇;
當靈魂歸於沉寂,
無法撥動的心絃冰冷如鐵;
像寒風吹過破敗的廢墟,
那歌聲帶着多少悲切;
像爲死去的水手敲響喪鐘,
那悼亡的濤聲如此慘烈。

兩情剛剛相好,
愛就與那精心構築的愛巢告別;
常常留下一顆柔弱的心,
空想往事耗盡心血;
愛情呵,愛情,
誰爲這最脆最弱悲泣嗚咽?
爲何選擇這最脆最弱,
送往安寢的棺廓和墓穴?

愛的情意將把你摧折,
如暴風雨中的烏鴉精疲力竭;
理智的輝光將把你嘲弄,
就象冬日的斜陽冷如霜雪;
你巢穴的棺木會一根根腐朽,
恥笑會把你裸露的軀體點點噬齧;
你的坆頭將颳起寒風,
你的墓旁將堆滿落葉。

波西•比希•雪萊(Percy Bysshe Shelley1792—1822)英國詩人 這首愛的悲歌首闕一連三個奇絕的類比,引導出突如其來的恩斷情絕。失敗的愛中,總是弱者受傷慘重,不僅終身傷痕難愈、淚水難幹,含恨而死之後還會遭到冷落 與嘲弄。譯語用韻奇險,有助於再現原作的氛圍,更加催人淚下。
