Sara Teasdale - Night Song at Amalfi 汉译

I asked the heaven of stars<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

What I should give my love –

It answered me with silence,

Silence above.

 

I asked the darkened sea

Down where the fishers go–

It answered me with silence,

Silence below.

 

Oh, I could give him weeping,

Or I could give him song –

But how can I give silence

My whole life long? 

 

夜歌

萨拉·梯斯苔尔

 

我问星光灿烂的苍天

我该给我的所爱什么－－

苍天回答我以沉默，

以上苍的沉默。

　　

我问阴暗深沉的大海，

打鱼人常在哪里出没－－

大海回答我以沉默，

以下界的沉默。

　　

哦，我可以给他哭，

我也可以给他歌－－

可是我怎能一辈子

只给他沉默。
