*34.EEB
第三十四首
怀著当初一模样的心情,我说,
With the same heart, I said, I'll answer thee
我要答应你,当你叫我的小名。
As those, when thou shalt call me by my name --
唉,这分明是空的愿心!我的心
Lo, the vain promise! Is the same, the same,
还能是一模样--饱受了人生的磨折?
Perplexed and ruffled by life's strategy?
从前,我听得一声喊,就扔下花束,
When called before, I told how hastily
要不,从游戏里跳起,奔过去答应,
I dropped my flower or brake off from a game,
一路上都是我的笑容笑声在致敬,
To run and answer with the smile that came
眼星里还闪烁著方才那一片欢乐。
At play last moment, and went on with me
现在我应你,我舍下一片沉重的
Through my obedience. When I answer now,
忧思,从孤寂里惊起。可是,我的心
I drop a gra十ve thought, break from solitude;
还是要向你飞奔,你不是我一种的
Yet still my heart goes to thee ... ponder how ...
善,而是百善所钟!我最可十爱十的人,
Not as to a single good, but all my good!
你把手按著我的心口,同意吗:孩童的
Lay thy hand on it, best one, and allow
小脚从没跑得这么快--象这血轮。
That no child's foot could run fast as this blood.
