双语诗歌：安魂曲

Requiescat

安魂曲

strew on her roses, roses,

and never a spray of yew.

in quiet she reposes;

ah! would that i did too.

her mirth the world required;

she bathed it in smiles of glee.

but her heart was tired, tired.

and now they let her be.

her life was turning, turning;

in mazes of heat and sound;

but for peace her soul was yearning,

and now peace laps her round.

her cabin’d, ample spirit,

if flutter’d and fail’d for breath

to-night it doth inherit

the vasty hall of death.

用玫瑰花、玫瑰花覆盖伊，

却决不要一枝紫杉！

她安静地卧着休息：

啊，愿我也能长眠！

世界曾需要她的欢笑；

她曾以欢欣的微笑浸润它。

但她的心是倦了、倦了，

现在他们就不打扰她。

她的生活本在转动，

转动于兴奋与喧嚣的迷境中。

但她的灵魂在渴求安宁，

而现在安宁将她包笼。

她受束缚的、丰富的精神，

它颤动，它不济----气息已荒。

今夜它确实继承

这宏大的死亡之堂。
