星空圆梦

我不爱你

【英】卡罗琳·伊丽莎白·萨拉·诺顿

我不爱你！真的，我不爱你！
然而你不在的时侯，我满心忧郁；
连你头上明丽的晴空都妒忌，
只因沉默的星星见到你而欣喜。

我不爱你！但我不懂为何
你的所作所为在我眼中无可挑剔。
我常常独自唉声叹气，
因为我爱之人无法与你相比。

我不爱你！然而离别后
你的声音如乐曲萦绕耳际，
我厌烦别的声音再来搅扰，
无论那些话语多么亲热甜蜜。

我不爱你！可你那会说话的眼睛
却频频进入我夜半的梦里，
明亮、深邃、湛蓝，含情脉脉，
其他人的眼睛从未入梦。

我知道我不爱你！只是，天啊，
我坦诚的心人人表示怀疑，
他们走过时常常窃窃私笑，
因为发觉我望你时两眼痴迷。

I Do Not Love Thee

By Caroline Elizabeth Sarah Norton

I do not love thee!—no! I do not love thee! 
And yet when thou art absent I am sad; 
And envy even the bright blue sky above thee, 
Whose quiet stars may see thee and be glad. 

I do not love thee!—yet, I know not why, 
Whate’er thou dost seems still well done, to me: 
And often in my solitude I sigh 
That those I do love are not more like thee! 

I do not love thee!—yet, when thou art gone, 
I hate the sound (though those who speak be dear) 
Which breaks the lingering echo of the tone 
Thy voice of music leaves upon my ear. 

I do not love thee!—yet thy speaking eyes, 
With their deep, bright, and most expressive blue, 
Between me and the midnight heaven arise, 
Oftener than any eyes I ever knew. 

I know I do not love thee! yet, alas! 
Others will scarcely trust my candid heart; 
And oft I catch them smiling as they pass, 
Because they see me gazing where thou art.
