心儿灌水--勃朗宁夫人十四行诗

贺兰心儿

和谐的韵律；而凭一张弓，真诚的
'Neath master-hands, from instruments defaced, --
　灵魂，可以在勒索、也同时在溺爱。
And great souls, at one stroke, may do and dote.  

贺兰心儿

白朗宁夫人抒情十四行诗集第三十三首

对啦，叫我的小名儿呀！让我再听见
Yes, call me by my pet-name! let me hear
　我一向飞奔著去答应的名字－－那时，
The name I used to run at, when a child

贺兰心儿

还是个小女孩，无忧无虑，沉浸于
From innocent play, and leave the cowslips piled,
嬉戏，偶尔从一大堆野草野花间
To glance up in some face that proved me dear

贺兰心儿

抬起头来，仰望那用和蔼的眼
With the look of its eyes. I miss the clear
　抚爱我的慈颜。我失去了那仁慈
Fond voices which, being drawn and reconciled

贺兰心儿

亲切的呼唤，那灵衬给我的是
Into the music of Heaven's undefiled,
一片寂静，任凭我高呼著上天，
Call me no longer. Silence on the bier,

贺兰心儿

那慈声归入了音乐华严的天国。
While I call God ... call God! -- So let thy mouth
　让你的嘴来承继那寂灭的清音。
Be heir to those who are now exanimate.

贺兰心儿

采得北方的花，好完成南方的花束，
Gather the north flowers to complete the south,
　在迟暮的岁月里赶上早年的爱情。
And catch the early love up in the late.

贺兰心儿

对啦，叫我的小名儿吧，我，就随即
Yes, call me by that name, -- and I, in truth,
　答应你，怀著当初一模样的心情。
With the same heart, will answer and not wait.

贺兰心儿

白朗宁夫人抒情十四行诗集第三十四首

怀著当初一模样的心情，我说，
With the same heart, I said, I'll answer thee
　我要答应你，当你叫我的小名。
As those, when thou shalt call me by my name --

贺兰心儿

唉，这分明是空的愿心！我的心
Lo, the vain promise! Is the same, the same,
还能是一模样－－饱受了人生的磨折？
Perplexed and ruffled by life's strategy?
