原詩
I SAW THEE’WEEP
—— George Gordon Byron
I saw thee weep the big bright tear
Came out that eye of blue;
And then me thought it did appear
A violet dropping dew:
I see thee smile
the sapphire’s blaze
Beside thee ceased to shine;
It could not match the living rays
That filled that glance of thine.
As clouds from yonder sun receive
A deep and mellow dye
Which scarce the shade of coming eve
Can banish from the sky,
Those smiles unto the moodiest mind
Their own pure joy impart;
Their sunshine leaves a glow behind
That lightens on the heart.
譯文
我看過你哭——一滴明亮的淚
湧上了你藍色的眼珠;
那時候,我心想,這豈不就是
一朵紫羅蘭上垂著露;
我看過你笑——藍寶石的火焰
在你前面也不再發閃,
呵,寶石的閃爍怎能比得上
你那一瞥的靈活的光線。
仿佛是烏雲從遠方的太陽
得到濃厚而柔和的色彩,
就是冉冉的黃昏的暗影
也不能將它從天空逐開;
你那微笑給我陰沉的腦中
也灌注了純潔的歡樂;
你的容光留下了光明一閃,
直似太陽在我心裡放射。
