[苏格兰]威廉·亚历山大

William Alexander

哦,如果你知道如何伤害自己,

预知幸福,打乱我的平静,

你胸中的冰便即将融化,

你宽厚的胸膛是多么温暖。

哦,如果你的骄傲不能阻止快乐,

你将看不到爱的奇迹世界!

如果你将自己托付于我,

我将把灵魂全部倾注在你的胸怀;

于是,我的思潮在你的容颜上闪光,

如果你承受痛苦,不要抱怨。

不要独自背负痛苦的重担;

不,我要与你同甘共苦:

当我们如此将悲哀融合,

这快乐的融洽将使它们全部消失。

O if thou knew'st how thou thyself dost harm,

And dost prejudge thy bliss, and spoil my rest;

Then thou would'st melt the ice out of thy breast

And thy relenting heart would kindly warm.

O if thy pride did not our joys controul,

What world of loving wonders should'st thou see!

For if I saw thee once transform'd in me,

Then in thy bosom I would pour my soul;

Then all my thoughts should in thy visage shine,

And if that aught mischanced thou should'st not moan

Nor bear the burthen of thy griefs alone;

No, I would have my share in what were thine:

And whilst we thus should make our sorrows one,

This happy harmony would make them none.
