（Percy Shelley, 1792 - 1822）

一朵枯萎的紫罗兰

（英）珀西·雪莱

舒啸 译

这朵花儿已然散尽了香味，

正如你的吻曾对我吐气轻吹；

这朵花儿的色彩已然消褪，

曾经闪耀过你独特的光辉！

一个枯萎没有生命的空壳，

留在我被冷落遗弃的胸膛，

用冰冷而沉寂的休息停搁，

嘲讽着这依旧热切的心房。

我啜泣，眼泪无法让它复生；

我叹息，它不再对我呼吸；

它有沉默而毫无怨言的宿命

我的命运本该是同样注定。

Shelley 原诗：

                       On A Faded Violet

The odor from the flower is gone,

Which like thy kisses breathed on me;

The color from the flower is flown,

Which glowed of thee, and only thee!

A shriveled, lifeless, vacant form,

It lies on my abandoned breast,

And mocks the heart, which yet is warm,

With cold and silent rest.

I weep ---- my tears revive it not;

I sigh ---- it breathes no more on me;

Its mute and uncomplaining lot

Is such as mine should be.
