90. A Birthday
——C. Rossetti
My heart is like a singing bird
Whose nest is in a water'd shoot;
My heart is like an apple-tree
Whose boughs are bent with thick-set fruit;
My heart is like a rainbow shell
That paddles in a halcyon sea;
My heart is gladder than all these,
Because my love is come to me.
Raise me a dais of silk and down;
Hang it with vair and purple dyes;
Carve it in doves and pomegranates,
And peacocks with a hundred eyes;
Work it in gold and silver grapes,
In leaves and silver fleurs-de-lys;
Because the birthday of my life
Is come, my love is come to me.

90 生日
克里斯蒂娜·罗塞蒂
我的心像一只会唱歌的鸟
筑巢在临近溪流的树梢，
我的心像一棵苹果树，
枝头上挂满累累的果实；
我的心像一道彩虹
悬挂在平静的海空。
我的心比这一切幸福得多，
因为我的爱人要来找我。
请为我用丝绸把高台搭起，
上面挂起染成紫色的栗鼠皮；
高台上雕以鸽子和石榴花，
五十只孔雀的眼睛齐放光华，
金色和银色的葡萄四周悬垂，
再饰以绿叶和银色的鸢尾，
因为我的生日临近，值得庆贺，
我的爱人马上要来找我。
