Did Not
By MOORE, THOMAS
’Twas a new feeling?something more
Than we had dared to own before,
Which then we hid not;
We saw it in each other’s eye,
And wished, in every half-breathed sigh,
To speak, but did not.
She felt my lips’ impassioned touch?
’Twas the first time I dared so much,
And yet she chid not;
But whispered o’er my burning brow,
"Oh! do you doubt I love you now?"
Sweet soul! I did not.
Warmly I felt her bosom thrill,
I pressed it closer, closer still,
Though gently bid not;
Till?oh! the world hath seldom heard
Of lovers, who so nearly erred,
And yet, who did not.
Thomas Moore (1779-1852), an Irish poet, wrote the words for some of the best-loved songs in the English language.
有一种新鲜的感觉--比我们
之前敢于拥有的要多,
我们没有回避;
我们许愿,在每一次浅浅的叹气中,
想说,却没有。
她感觉到我激动的双唇--
我第一次如此勇敢,
然而,她没有责备;
但是,一声轻语掠过我发烫的眉头,
“噢,你现在怀疑我的爱吗?”
可爱的灵魂!我不怀疑。
她颤抖的胸温暖着我,
我向前靠,更近,仍旧更近,
尽管,没有受到温柔的请求;
直到--噢!世界上几乎不曾
有过如此鲁莽的情人儿,
然而,没有不犯错的情人儿。
托马斯?摩尔(1779-1852),爱尔兰诗人。
Lines From A Notebook - February 1807 (1)
By COLERIDGE, SAMUEL TAYLOR
And in Life’s noisiest hour,
There whispers still the ceaseless Love of Thee,
The heart’s Self-solace, and soliloquy.
You mould my Hopes, you fashion me within;
And to the leading Love-throb in the Heart
Thro’ all my being all my pulses beat.
You lie in all my many Thoughts, like Light
Like the fair Light of Dawn, or summer-Eve
On rippling Stream, or cloud-reflecting Lake.
And looking to the Heaven, that bends above you
How oft I bless the Lot, that made me love you.
即使在最喧闹的时刻,
私语,仍旧是你无尽的爱,
心灵的自抚,和喃喃自语。
Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772-1834), was a poet, philosopher, and critic of the English Romantic movement.
Last Sonnet (revised Version)
By KEATS, JOHN
Kiss me, sweet: the wary lover
Can your favours keep, and cover,
When the common courting jay
All your bounties will betray.
Kiss again: no creature comes.
Kiss, and score up wealthy sums
On my lips, thus hardly sundered,
While you breathe. First give a hundred,
Then a thousand, then another
Hundred, then unto the tother
Add a thousand, and so more:
Till you equal with the store,
All the grass that Romney yields,
Or the sands in Chelsea fields,
Or the drops in silver Thames,
Or the stars, that gild his streams,
In the silent summer nights,
When youths ply their stol’n delights.
That the curious may not know
How to tell them as they flow,
And the envious, when they find,
What their number is, be pined.
Ben Jonson (1572?-1637), was an English playwright and poet.
A Red, Red Rose
By BURNS, ROBERT
Come live with me and be my love,
And we will all the pleasures prove,
That valleys, groves, hills and fields,
Woods or steppy mountains yield.
And we will sit upon the rocks,
Seeing the shepherds feed their flocks
By shallow rivers, to whose falls
Melodious birds sing madrigals.
And will I make thee beds of roses,
And a thousand fragrant posies;
A cap of flowers and a kirtle
Embroidered all with leaves of myrtle;
A gown made of the finest wool
Which from our pretty lambs we pull;
Fair-lined slippers for the cold,
With buckles of the purest gold;
A belt of straw, and ivy buds,
With coral clasps and amber studs.
And if these pleasures thee may move,
Come live with me, and be my love.
The shepherd-swains shall dance and sing
For thy delight each May morning;
If these delights thy mind may move,
Then live with me, and be my love.
Christopher Marlowe (1564-1593), was the first great Elizabethan writer of tragedy.
She Walks In Beauty
By BYRON, GEORGE GORDON
SHALL I compare thee to a summer’s day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer’s lease hath all too short a date:
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimmed:
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance, or nature’s changing course,
untrimmed.
But thy eternal summer shall not fade
Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest;
Nor shall Death brag thou wanderest in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou growest: --
So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
Sonnets From The Portuguese: 43
By BROWNING, ELIZABETH BARRETT
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.
I love thee to the level of everyday’s
Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.
I love thee with the passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood’s faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints, -- I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life! -- and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death.
