Young Love（IX）

By Sara Tealsdale

I hid three words within my heart,
  That longed to fly to him,
At dawn they woke me with a start,
  They sang till day was dim.

And now at last I let them fly,
  As little birds should do,
And he will know the first is "I",
  The others "Love" and "You".


少女的爱之九

文/莎拉•蒂斯黛尔  译/齐云

三个字锁于我的心灵
   都渴望向他飞翔
清晨它们就将我唤醒
   直唱到夜色茫茫

现在我终于解开心锁
   让它们如鸟飞离   
他将知道第一字是“我”
   另两个是“爱”和“你”


译后记：原诗抑扬格，奇行四步，偶行三步，交韵。
