Look Not in My Eyes
[英]阿尔弗雷德·爱德华·豪斯曼
Alfred Edward Housman
请不要看我的眼睛,
我害怕它映出我看到的身影,
当你看到自己清晰的面容,
你会爱上它,像我一样失魂落魄,
在漫漫长夜中躺着,
在哀愁叹息中耗尽生命。
但你我何苦要毁灭?
请不要凝视我的双眸。
传说,有位希腊少年
纵有多少女子爱他也徒然,
在森林泉水中,他看到自己的容颜
从此不再看他物。
每当春来,百花盛开,
双眼低垂,满面哀伤
站立在朦胧烟雨中的
不再是那希腊少年,
而是一株水仙花。
Look not in my eyes, for fear
They mirror true the sight I see,
And there you find your face too clear
And love it and be lost like me,
One the long nights through must lie
Spent in star-defeated sighs,
But why should you as well as I perish?
Gaze not in my eyes.
A Grecian lad, as I hear tell,
One that many loved in vain,
Looked into a forest well
And never looked away again.
There, when the turf in springtime flowers,
With downward eye and gazes sad,
Stands amid the glancing showers
A jonquil, not a Grecian lad.
