《最后的诗歌》

VII

第七首

青绿的山谷一片平静

In Valleys Green and Still

英国   A. E. 豪斯曼原著

Alfred Edward Housman (1859 – 1936)

徐家祯翻译

 

In valleys green and still

        Where lovers wander maying

They hear from over hill

        A music playing.

 

Behind the drum and fife,

        Past hawthornwood and hollow,

Through earth and out of life

        The soldiers follow.

 

The soldier’s is the trade:

        In any wind or weather

He steals the heart of maid

        And man together.

 

The lover and his lass

        Beneath the hawthorn lying

Have heard the soldiers pass,

        And both are sighing.

 

And down the distance they

        With dying note and swelling

Walk the resounding way

        To the still dwelling.
