Endymion By Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Endymion by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow - Terence Stamp
《恩底彌翁》，亨利·華茲華斯·朗費羅
The rising moon has hid the stars;
明月初上，讓星星不見了踪影
Her level rays, like golden bars,
她柔和的光，如金條般
Lie on the landscape green,
靜臥在青蔥的風景之上
With shadows brown between .
投下稀疏交錯的碎影
And silver white the river gleams,
銀白光在河流上閃爍
As if Diana, in her dreams,
猶如戴安娜在熟睡中
Had dropt her silver bow
掉下了她那銀色的弓
Upon the meadows low.
散落在淺淺的牧場上
On such a tranquil night as this,
在如此靜謐的良夜裡
She woke Endymion with a kiss,
她用吻喚醒恩底彌翁之時
When, sleeping in the grove,
他還沉睡在樹叢中
He dreamed not of her love.
他的夢中人不是她
Like Dians kiss, unasked, unsought,
如戴安娜主動的吻一般
Love gives itself, but is not bought ;
愛情獻出了自己，而非換來
Nor voice, nor sound betrays
聲音，聲響不會背叛
Its deep, impassioned gaze.
它深邃熱情的凝望
It comes,--the beautiful, the free,
它出現了，曼妙輕盈
The crown of all humanity,--
集合了一切人性的至美
In silence and alone
在寂靜和孤獨中
To seek the elected one.
找尋意中的人兒
It lifts the boughs, whose shadows deep
它撩起枝椏，那幽深的疏影
Are Lifes oblivion, the souls sleep,
那是生命之遺忘，心靈之長眠
And kisses the closed eyes
它輕吻他那合上的雙眼
Of him, who slumbering lies.
熟睡的他靜靜地臥躺
O weary hearts! O slumbering eyes!
哦那疲倦之心，那沉睡之目
O drooping souls, whose destinies
哦乾涸的靈魂，它注定
Are fraught with fear and pain,
要與恐懼和痛糾纏
Ye shall be loved again!
愛的饋贈將降臨於你
No one is so accursed by fate,
命運它不會這般折磨一個人
No one so utterly desolate,
不曾有人如此孤獨
But some heart, though unknown,
然那未知的心靈
Responds unto his own.
扣響了他的自我之門
Responds,--as if with unseen wings,
應答著，彷彿揮動無形之翼
An angel touched its quivering strings;
那天使輕撫著震顫之弦
And whispers, in its song,
輕聲細語，癡情吟唱
'Where hast thou stayed so long?'
“光陰荏苒，汝在何方”
