Remember
[英]克里斯蒂娜·乔治娜·罗塞蒂
Christina Georgina Rossetti
请记住我,当我离开
去了那遥远的宁静之地;
当你不再握紧我的手
我不会再欲去还留,犹豫不决。
请记住我,当你不再为我们的未来
日日憧憬
只希望你能记住我;你明白
那时再商议或祈祷为时已晚。
请不要伤心,如果你一时将我忘却,
后来又重新忆起。
因为倘若黑暗和腐朽还残留
我曾经挂念的一丝痕迹,
我宁愿你忘却而微笑,
也不愿你铭记而悲伤。
Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you planned:
Only remember me;you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.
Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.
