乌鸦

[美]埃德加·爱伦·坡

透过黑暗，窥视

我长久地站在那儿

思索，担忧，疑惑...

甚至梦想，梦想前人不敢奢求的梦境

只有寂静，始终如一

---没有任何表征

唯一能听到的低语，“雷诺尔！”

这是我在喃喃自语

“雷诺尔！”，这也是大地低沉的回声

除此，寂静，还是寂静

 

注：此为《乌鸦》中最为精彩的一段

 

原文：

The Raven 

by Edgar Allen Poe

 

Deep into that darkness peering,

Long I stood there, wondering, fearing,

Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortals

Ever dared to dream before;

But the silence was unbroken,

And the stillness gave no token,

And the only word there spoken

Was the whispered word, "Lenore!"

This I whispered, and an echo

Murmured back the word, "Lenore!"

Merely this, and nothing more.
