89. Echo
——C. Rossetti
Come to me in the silence of the night;
Come in the speaking silence of a dream;
Come with soft rounded cheeks and eyes as bright
As sunlight on a stream;
Come back in tears,
O memory, hope, love of finished years.
O dream how sweet, too sweet, too bitter sweet,
Whose wakening should have been in Paradise,
Where souls brimfull of love abide and meet;
Where thirsting longing eyes
Watch the slow door
That opening, letting in, lets out no more.
Yet come to me in dreams, that I may live
My very life again though cold in death:
Come back to me in dreams, that I may give
Pulse for pulse, breath for breath:
Speak low, lean low,
As long ago, my love, how long ago.

克里斯蒂娜·罗塞蒂
请到我这里来，趁夜深人静，
趁我在熟睡中默默梦呓，
回来吧，带着你那张温和的圆脸
和那双与映照溪水的阳光一样灿烂的眼睛，
哟，记忆、希望和往昔的爱情，
请你们都含泪归来！
哟，甜美的，极度甜美的梦，
如此美景本该出现在天堂，
因为那里聚居着充满爱心的人，
一双双渴望的眼睛
紧盯着那扇慢慢开启的门，
可惜那时已不再放人。
还是到我梦中来吧，以便我
在死亡的冷酷中重温生活；
回到我的梦中来，以便我们
心心相印，息息相关：
悄悄说话，紧紧依偎，
就像很久很久以前那一对恋人。
