双语诗歌：梦魇

Love, if I weep it will not matter,

And if you laugh I shall not care;

Foolish am I to think about it,

But it is good to feel you there.

亲爱的，我是否哭泣已不再重要，

你是否快乐我不会在乎；

然而我仍傻傻地想，

有你在旁该是多好。

Love, in my sleep I dreamed of waking-

White and awful the moonlight reached

Over the floor, and somewhere, somewhere,There was a shutter¹ loose-it screeched²!

亲爱的，我从沉睡中梦见自己醒来——

月光所到之处：洁白，可怕

洒在地板上，在某处，某处，

百叶窗松落下来——发出刺耳之声！

Swung in the wind-and no wind blowing!-

I was afraid, and turned to you,

Put out my hand to you for comfort,-

And you were gone! Cold, cold as dew.

在风中摇曳——然而无风吹拂！——

我害怕，转向你，

伸出手向你寻求安抚，——

然而你已离去！冰冷，冰冷如露。

Under my hand the moonlight lay!

Love, if you laugh I shall not care,

But if I weep it will not matter,-

Ah, it is good to feel you there!

月光洒落在我手上！

亲爱的，你是否快乐我不会在乎，

我的哭泣也不再重要，——

然而，如你在旁该是多好！
