一清早送别友人们

 On leaving some Friends at an early Hour
一清早送别友人们

作者 济慈
屠岸 译

Give me a golden pen, and let me lean
On heap'd up flowers, in regions clear, and far;
Bring me a tablet whiter than a star,
Or hand of hymning angel, when 'tis seen

给我支金笔，让我依傍着一丛
鲜花异卉，在遥远，圣洁的仙乡，
给我白纸，比星星更莹白晶亮，
不然就给我天使的素手，好拨弄

The silver strings of heavenly harp atween:
And let there glide by many a pearly car,
Pink robes, and wavy hair, and diamond jar,
And half discovered wings, and glances keen.

天堂里竖琴的银弦，奏圣乐赞颂：
让缀满珍珠的彩车悄然来往
载着飘动的鬓发，钻石瓶，红罗裳，
半露的翅膀，流盼的美目匆匆。

The while let music wander round my ears.
And as it reaches each delicious ending,
Let me write down a line of glorious tone,

让仙乐悠扬，缭绕在我的耳际，
当美妙的乐章到达终曲的时辰，
让我写出高雅典丽的诗句。

And full of many wonders of the spheres:
For what a height my spirit is contending!
'Tis not content so soon to be alone.

描绘重宵之上的种种奇迹：
我的灵魂在攀登凌霄的高峰！
它不会这样快就甘愿忍受孤独。(1816)

英年早逝是一件令人非常悲伤的事。但诗人却把它描绘成另一种荣光的境界: 天国里为灵魂弹奏的仙乐；鲜花异卉；珍珠彩车；飘动的鬓发；钻石瓶；红罗裳；半露的翅膀;流盼的美目;在生命即将终结的时候,诗人盼望能记下那些音符和攀登重宵天国时的各种奇遇。诗人表达了不愿孤独的愿望。
