《西罗普郡一少年》

XXXVI

第三十六首

白色的月光下躺着一条长路

White in the Moon the Long Road Lies

英国   A. E. 豪斯曼原著

Alfred Edward Housman (1859 – 1936)

徐家祯翻译

 

 

White in the moon the long road lies,

      The moon stands blank above;

White in the moon the long road lies

      That leads me from my love.

 

Still hangs the hedge without a gust,

      Still, still the shadows stay:

My feet upon the moonlit dust

      Pursue the ceaseless way.

 

The world is round, so travellers tell,

      And straight though reach the track,

Trudge on, trudge on, 'twill all be well,

      The way will guide one back.

 

But ere the circle homeward hies

      Far, far must it remove:

White in the moon the long road lies

      That leads me from my love.
