她的名字
[英]托馬斯·哈代
在一本詩人的書葉上
我畫著她芳名的字形；
她像是光豔的思想的部分，
曾經靈感那歌吟者的歡欣。
如今我又翻著那張書葉，
詩歌裏依舊閃耀著光彩，
但她的名字的鮮豔，
卻已隨著過去的時光消淡。
Her Initials
Thomas Hardy
Upon a poet’s page I wrote Of old two letters of her name; Part emed she of the effulgent thought Whehat high singer’s rapture came.
—When now I turn the leaf the same Immortal light illumes the lay But from the letters of her name The radiance has died away.
