每天一诗 英语诗歌

I Remember, I Remember

托马斯·胡德 Thomas Hood (1799-1845)英国著名诗人。

　　(1) 　I remember, I remember

我忆起，我忆起　　

The house where I was born,

那栋出生时的屋宇，　　

the little window where the sun

早晨，阳光从小窗中　　

Came peeping in at morn:

偷望进去：　　

He never came a wink too soon,

他从不早来片刻，　

　Nor brought too long a day,

也不多留半晌，　　

But now, I often wish the night

但是现在，我常愿夜晚　

　Had borne my breath away!

带走我的呼吸！

　　(2) 　　I remember, I remember

我忆起，我忆起　　

The roses, red and white,

玫瑰花开，有红有白　　

The vi’lets, and the lily-cups,

紫罗兰，百合　

　Those flowers made of light!

那些由光辉构成的花朵！　

　The lilacs where the robin built,

有知更鸟筑巢的紫丁香，　

　And where my brother set

有哥哥生日时　　

The laburnum on his birthday,

-- 种植的金炼花，－－　　

The tree is living yet! 依然常青！

　　(3) 　I remember, I remember

我忆起，我忆起　　

Where I was used to swing

经常荡秋千的地方　

　and thought the air must rush as fresh

迎面而来的风是如此清爽　　

To swallows on the wing;

飞燕也颇有同感；　

　My spirit flew in feathers then,

昔日意气扬扬的心灵，　　

That is so heavy now,

现在变得如此沉重，　

　And summer pools could hardly cool

就是夏日的池水也无法冷却　

　The fever on my brow!

我额头的热狂！ 

　　(4) 　I remember, I remember

我忆起，我忆起　

　The fir trees dark and high;

茂密高耸的冷杉；　　

I used to think their slender tops

我曾想象它细长的枝尖　　

Were close against the sky;

逼近天空；　　

It was a childish ignorance,

虽然只是幼稚无知，　　

But now ’tis little joy

但是，现在却少有那般快乐　　

To know I’m farther off from heav’n

因为我知道自己比孩童时代　

　Than when I was a boy!

离苍穹更遥远了！
