我知道花儿梦见了汝

我知道花儿梦见了汝

 

我知道花儿梦见了汝

怀着遗憾向晨欢呼；

沾满无欢的露水珠

脸上都湿漉漉。

 

风已从你身边流淌

无声息却出卖真相；

在整天他们的翅膀

留有夏日的芬芳。

 

无论是睡着还是醒，

这失去喜悦的记忆

白天无形风不停

夜晚花儿静寂。

 

I knew the flowers had dreamed of you

 

I knew the flowers had dream'd of you

And hail'd the morning with regret;

For all their faces with the dew

Of vanish'd joy were wet.

 

I knew the winds had passed you way

Though not a sound the truth betrayed;

About their pinions all the day

A summer fragrance stayed.

 

And so awaking or asleep,

A memory of lost delight

By day the sightless breezes keep

And silent flow'rs by night.
