我再見不到地面的青蔭
覺不到雨露的甜蜜
我再聽不到夜鶯的歌喉
在黑夜里傾吐悲啼
在悠久的昏暮中迷惘
陽光不升起也不消翳
我也許 也許我還記得你
我也許把你忘記
When I Am Dead, My Dearest
Christina Georgina Rossetti
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.
