The Look by Sara Teasdale

The Look   

 

Sara Teasdale

 

Strephon kissed me in the spring,    

Robin in the fall,   

But Colin only looked at me    

And never kissed at all.   

 

Strephon's kiss was lost in jest,    

Robin's lost in play,   

But the kiss in Colin's eyes    

Haunts me night and day.

 

注视

 

春天里的吻是史崔凡，

秋天里的吻是罗宾，

而科林只注视着

他的吻从未来临。

 

史崔凡的吻伴着嬉笑而去，

罗宾的吻伴着欢闹而逝，

可那科林眼中的吻

缠绕着我一日又一日。
