經典愛情詩:Love's Secret 愛的祕密
Love's Secret
by William Blake
Never seek to tell thy love,
Love that never told can be;
For the gentle wind does move
Silently, invisibly.
I told my love, I told my love,
I told her all my heart;
Trembling, cold, in ghastly fears,
Ah! she did depart!
Soon as she was gone from me,
A traveler came by,
Silently, invisibly,
He took her with a sigh.
愛的祕密
黃雨石 譯
愛情永不宜在情人面前搬弄,
永不要對她説出你的心意,
你只看那輕輕吹動着的微風,
它總一聲不響、不露形跡。
我就曾對情人吐露我的愛情,
戰慄着、哆嗦着、帶着恐懼,
我讓她完全看透了我的心。
但結果啊!她很快就把我拋棄!
等她剛剛離開我的眼前,
一聲不響、不露形跡,
一個過路人來到她的身邊,
她輕歎了一聲便隨他而去。
