雪之歌
Sara Teasdale
——莎拉·蒂斯
Fairy snow, fairy snow,
雪精灵,雪精灵,
Blowing, blowing everywhere,
到处翩翩起舞,
Would that I
是否我
Too, could fly
也能飞,
Lightly, lightly through the air.
轻盈地飞到天上。
Like a wee, crystal star,
像一颗细小晶莹的星星,
I should drift, I should blow
我要纷飞,我要飘舞,
Near, more near,
近了,更近了,
To my dear
飞向我的爱人,
Where he comes through the snow.
他正乘着风雪走来。
I should fly to my love,
我要飞向我的爱人,
Like a flake in the storm,
像暴风雪中的一片雪花。
I should die, I should die,
我要消逝,我要消逝,
On his lips that are warm
在他温暖的唇边。
