Love's Witness——爱情的见证

分类: 英语诗歌 
 

Slight unpremeditated Words are borne

By every common Wind into the Air;

Carelessly utter'd, die as soon as born,

And in one instant give both Hope and Fear:

Breathing all Contraries with the same Wind

According to the Caprice of the Mind.

But Billetdoux are constant Witnesses,

Substantial Records to Eternity;

Just Evidences,who the Truth confess,

On which the Lover safely may rely;

They're serious Thoughts,digested and resolv'd;

And last,when Words are into Clouds devolv'd.

不加思索的轻率话语,

被每一次平凡的呼吸载入空气;

随便说说,刚出口即消失,

一瞬间给人希望和恐惧:

同一气息呼出万般矛盾心肠,

追随心灵无常的遐想。

但情书则是恒常的见证,

直至永恒的实体记录;

公道的证物,它道出真诚,

恋人能在其上安心依附;

它们是严肃的思想,经过深思熟虑;

当话语在云外消失,它们还将延续。
