Never Seek to Tell Thy Love

 

 

                                             William Blake

Never seek to tell thy love,

永远不要表达你的爱

Love that never told can be;

那爱不尽在言语中

For the gentle wind doth move

因为清风拂过

Silently, invisibly,

轻轻地，不留一丝痕迹

I told my love, I told my love,

我表达了我的爱，我表达了我的爱，

I told her all my heart;

我告诉了她我的所思所想

Trembling, cold, in ghastly fears,

颤抖、寒冷、如死一般的恐惧

Ah! She did depart.

唉！她竟然飘然离去

Soon after she was gone from me,

她与我分手后没多久

A traveler came by,

一个行人与我擦肩而过

Silently, invisibly:

轻轻地，不留一丝痕迹

He took her with a sigh.

伴着我的一声叹息，他将她带走
