On A Dead Violet
On A Dead Violet
The odor from the flower is gone
Which like thy kisses breathed on me;
The color from the flower is flown
Which glowed of thee and only thee!
A shrivelled, lifeless, vacant form,
It lies on my abandoned breast;
And mocks the heart, which yet is warm,
With cold and silent rest.
I weep--my tears revive it not;
I sigh--it breathes no more on me:
Its mute and uncomplaining lot
Is such as mine should be.
咏一朵枯萎的紫罗兰
雪莱
一
这一朵花失去了香味，
它象你的吻，曾对我呼吸；
那鲜艳的颜色也已消褪，
不再闪耀着你，唯一的你！
二
一个枯萎而僵死的形体，
茫然留在我凄凉的前胸，
它以冰冷而沉默的安息
折磨着这仍旧火热的心。
三
我哭了，眼泪不使它复生！
我叹息，没有香气扑向我！
唉，这沉默而无怨的宿命
虽是它的，可对我最适合。
