第五十五首

往西那片山脉起伏的高地

Westward on the High-Hilled Plains

英国   A. E. 豪斯曼原著

Alfred Edward Housman (1859 – 1936)

徐家祯翻译

 

        
Westward on the high-hilled plains
         Where for me the world began,
Still, I think, in newer veins
         Frets the changeless blood of man.
        
Now that other lads than I
         Strip to bathe on Severn shore,
They, no help, for all they try,
         Tread the mill I trod before.

There, when hueless is the west
         And the darkness hushes wide,
Where the lad lies down to rest
         Stands the troubled dream beside.

There, on thoughts that once were mine,
         Day looks down the eastern steep,
And the youth at morning shine
         Makes the vow he will not keep.
