ONE WORD IS TOO OFTEN PROFANED
Percy Bysshe Shelley
One word is too often profaned
For me to profane1 it,
One feeling too falsely disdained
For thee to disdain2 it;
One hope is too like despair
For prudence3 to smother,
And pity from thee more dear
Than that from another.
I can give not what men call love,
But wilt5 thou accept not
The worship the heart lifts above
And the Heavens reject not, --
The desire of the moth4 for the star,
Of the night for the morrow,
The devotion to something afar
From the sphere of our sorrow?

有一个被人经常亵渎的字
王佐良 译
有一个被人经常亵渎的字，
我无心再来亵渎；
有一种被人假意鄙薄的感情，
你不会也来鄙薄。
有一种希望太似绝望，
又何须再加提防！
你的怜悯无人能比，
温暖了我的心房。
我拿不出人们所称的爱情，
但不知你肯否接受
这颗心儿能献的崇敬？
连天公也不会拒而不收！
犹如飞蛾扑向星星，
又如黑夜追求黎明，
这一种思慕远处之情，
早已跳出了人间的苦境！ |
