To A Friend

★ To a Friend ☆ Poetry by Amy Lowell I ask but one thing of you, only one, That always you will be my dream of you; That never shall I wake to find untrue All this I have believed and rested on, Forever vanished, like a vision gone Out into the night. Alas, how few There are who strike in us a chord we knew Existed, but so seldom heard its tone We tremble at the half-forgotten sound. The world is full of rude awakenings And heaven-born castles shattered to the ground, Yet still our human longing vainly clings To a belief in beauty through all wrongs. O stay your hand, and leave my heart its songs! ▲ Chinese Translation ★ 给朋友 ☆ [美国] 艾米•洛厄尔 (1874 -1925) 诗 ☆ [中国] 罗志海 (1954-) 译 我要求你一件事，只有一件事 你永远是我梦中的你 我永不醒来去发现那不真实 所有这一切我一直相信，满怀希望 永远消失了，像美景消失 到晚上。唉，多么的少 我们知道有人弹奏我们的心弦 真实存在，但很少听到它的音调 我们被半遗忘的声音振颤 这个世界充满了觉醒的狂暴 天堂出世的城堡掉在地面砸了个稀巴烂 然而我们人类仍然渴望，仍然徒劳，仍然紧抱 美丽的信念穿透所有的错 哦，留下你的手，离开我的心歌！ 2015年4月11日翻译 On April 11,2015, Translation
