心儿灌水--勃朗宁夫人十四行诗

贺兰心儿

从前，我听得一声喊，就扔下花束，
When called before, I told how hastily
　要不，从游戏里跳起，奔过去答应，
I dropped my flower or brake off from a game,

贺兰心儿

一路上都是我的笑容笑声在致敬，
To run and answer with the smile that came
眼星里还闪烁著方才那一片欢乐。
At play last moment, and went on with me

贺兰心儿

现在我应你，我舍下一片沉重的
Through my obedience. When I answer now,
　忧思，从孤寂里惊起。可是，我的心
I drop a grave thought, break from solitude;

贺兰心儿

还是要向你飞奔，你不是我一种的
Yet still my heart goes to thee ... ponder how ...
　善，而是百善所钟！我最可爱的人，
Not as to a single good, but all my good!

贺兰心儿

你把手按著我的心口，同意吗：孩童的
Lay thy hand on it, best one, and allow
　小脚从没跑得这么快－－象这血轮。
That no child's foot could run fast as this blood.

白朗宁夫人抒情十四行诗集第三十五首

要是我把一切都交给你，你可愿意
If I leave all for thee, wilt thou exchange
作为交换，把什么都归给我？
And be all to me? Shall I never miss

贺兰心儿

我可是永不会缺少家常的谈笑、
Home-talk and blessing and the common kiss
互酬接吻、彼此的祝福？也不会
That comes to each in turn, nor count it strange,

贺兰心儿

感到生疏、当我抬起头来打量
When I look up, to drop on a new range
新的墙壁和地板－－家以外另一个家？
Of walls and floors, ... another home than this?

贺兰心儿

不，我还要问，你可愿顶替那一双
Nay, wilt thou fill that place by me which is
瞑合了的柔眼在我身旁留下的位置
Filled by dead eyes too tender to know change?

贺兰心儿

而一样地不懂得变心？这可是难！
That's hardest. If to conquer love, has tried,
征服爱如果费事，征服怨，那就更难。
To conquer grief, tries more ... as all things prove,
