To Eva
[美]拉尔夫·沃尔多·爱默生
Ralph Waldo Emerson
噢,美丽而端庄的姑娘,
你的双眸在那高空被点亮
这同样的火把也照亮了我的双眼;
于是,
当你的柔情将我的意志征服,
我不得不将之看做是神圣的抚慰。
噢!我的心上人啊,
请让我心胸坦**地将你凝视;
那警戒的哨兵不足以惧,
他们的目光愈禁止
那闪动在她的眼睑下,炙热的贞洁,
摇曳的火光,愈透露出姑娘的神圣。
O fair and stately maid, whose eyes
Were kindled in the upper skies
At the same torch that lighted mine;
For so I must interpret still
Thy sweet dominion o'er my will,
A sympathy divine.
Ah!Let me blameless gaze upon
Features that seem at heart my own;
Nor fear those watchful sentinels,
Who charm the more their glance forbids
Chaste-glowing, underneath their lids,
With fire that draws while it repels.
