心儿灌水--勃朗宁夫人十四行诗

贺兰心儿

我们就此再听不见人世的争吵。
After the click of the shutting. Life to life --
亲爱的，我紧挨着你，生命贴恋着
I lean upon thee, Dear, without alarm,

贺兰心儿

生命，什么也不怕，我只觉得安全，
And feel as safe as guarded by a charm
象有了神符的保护，世人的刀枪
Against the stab of worldlings, who if rife

贺兰心儿

怎么稠密也不能伤害毫发。我们
Are weak to injure. Very whitely still
生命中的素莲，依然能开出纯洁
The lilies of our lives may reassure

贺兰心儿

雪白的花朵；那底下的根，只仰赖
Their blossoms from their roots, accessible
天降的甘露，从山头往上挺伸，
Alone to heavenly dews that drop not fewer:

贺兰心儿

高出世间的攀折。只有上帝，
Growing straight, out of man's reach, on the hill.
他赐我们富有，才能叫我们穷。
God only, who made us rich, can make us poor.

贺兰心儿

白朗宁夫人抒情十四行诗集第二十五首

亲爱的，年复一年，我怀着一颗
A heavy heart, Beloved, have I borne
沉重的心，直到我瞧见了你的面影。
From year to year util I saw thy face,

贺兰心儿

一个个忧伤已相继剥夺了我所有的
And sorrow after sorrow took the place
欢欣－－象一串轻贴在胸前的珍珠，
Of all those natural joys as lightly worn

贺兰心儿

在跳舞的当儿，给一颗跳动的心儿
As the stringed pearls, ... each lifted in its turn
逐一地拨弄。希望随即转成了
By a beating heart at dance time. Hopes apace

贺兰心儿

漫长的失望，纵使上帝的厚恩，
Were changed to long despairs, til God's own grace
也没法从那凄凉的人世举起来
Could scarcely lift above the world forlorn

贺兰心儿

我这颗沉甸甸的心。可是你，
My heavy heart. Then thou didst bid me bring
你当真命令我捧着它，投到
And let it drop adown thy calmly great
