心儿灌水--勃朗宁夫人十四行诗

贺兰心儿

又在我披垂的鬓发间吹入了一股
And, in betwixt the languid ringlets, blown
生气，好让我的前额又亮光光地
A life-breath, till the forehead hopefully

贺兰心儿

闪耀着希望--有所有的天使当着
Shines out again, as all the angels see,
你救难的吻为证！亲爱的人呀，
Before thy saving kiss! My own, my own,

贺兰心儿

当你来到我跟前，人世已舍我远去，
Who camest to me when the world was gone,
而一心仰望上帝的我、却获得了你！
And I who looked for only God, found thee!

贺兰心儿

我发现了你，我安全了，强壮了，快乐了。
I find thee; I am safe, and strong, and glad.
象一个人站立在干洁的香草地上
As one who stands in dewless aspodel,

贺兰心儿

回顾他曾捱过来的苦恼的年月；
Looks backward on the tedious time he had
我抬起了胸脯，拿自己作证：
In the upper life, -- so I, with bosom-swell,

贺兰心儿

这里，在一善和那一恶之间，爱，
Make witness, here, between the good and bad,
象死一样强烈，带来了同样的解脱。
That Love, as strong as death, retrieves as well.

贺兰心儿

白朗宁夫人抒情十四行诗集第二十八首

我的信！一堆堆死沉沉的纸，苍白又无声，
My letters! all dead paper, ... mute and white!
可是它们又象具有生命、颤动在
And yet they seem alive and quivering

贺兰心儿

我拿不稳的手内--是那发抖的手
Against my tremulous hands while loose the string
解开丝带，让它们今晚散满在
And let them drop down on my knee to-night

贺兰心儿

我膝上。这封说：他多盼望有个机会，
This said, ... he wished to have me in his sight
能作为朋友，见一见我。这一封又订了
Once, as a friend: this fixed a day in spring

贺兰心儿

春天里一个日子，来见我，跟我
To come and touch my hand ... a simple thing,
握握手--平常的事，我可哭了！
Yet I wept for it! -- this, ... the paper's light ...
