歌 (徐志摩翻译 自 英国女诗人 C. Rosetti)
当我死去的时候亲爱的
别为我唱悲伤的歌
我坟上不必安插蔷薇
也无需浓荫的柏树
让盖着我的青青的草
淋着雨也沾着露珠
假如你愿意请记着我
要是你甘心忘了我
在悠久的昏暮中迷惘
阳光不升起也不消翳
我也许也许我还记得你
我也许把你忘记
我再见不到地面的青荫
觉不到雨露的甜蜜
我再听不到夜莺的歌喉
在黑夜里倾诉悲啼
Song by - British poet Christina Rossetti (1830 - 1894)
When I am dead, my dearest,
Sing no sad songs for me;
Plant thou no roses at my head,
Nor shady cypress tree:
Be the green grass above me
With showers and dewdrops wet;
And if thou wilt, remember,
And if thou wilt, forget.
I shall not see the shadows,
I shall not feel the rain;
I shall not hear the nightingale
Sing on, as if in pain;
And dreaming through the twilight
That doth not rise nor set,
Haply I may remember,
And haply may forget.
