我不爱你

【英】卡罗琳·伊丽莎白·萨拉·诺顿

我不爱你！真的，我不爱你！

然而你不在的时侯，我满心忧郁；

连你头上明丽的晴空都妒忌，

只因沉默的星星见到你而欣喜。

我不爱你！但我不懂为何

你的所作所为在我眼中无可挑剔。

我常常独自唉声叹气，

因为我爱之人无法与你相比。

我不爱你！然而离别后

你的声音如乐曲萦绕耳际，

我厌烦别的声音再来搅扰，

无论那些话语多么亲热甜蜜。

我不爱你！可你那会说话的眼睛

却频频进入我夜半的梦里，

明亮、深邃、湛蓝，含情脉脉，

其他人的眼睛从未入梦。

我知道我不爱你！只是，天啊，

我坦诚的心人人表示怀疑，

他们走过时常常窃窃私笑，

因为发觉我望你时两眼痴迷。

I DoNot Love Thee

By CarolineElizabeth Sarah Norton

I do not lovethee!—no! I do not love thee!

And yet when thou art absent I amsad;

And envy even the bright blue sky abovethee,

Whose quiet stars may see thee and beglad.

I do not love thee!—yet, I know notwhy,

Whate’er thou dost seems still well done, tome:

And often in my solitude I sigh

That those I do love are not more likethee!

I do not love thee!—yet, when thou artgone,

I hate the sound (though those who speak bedear)

Which breaks the lingering echo of thetone

Thy voice of music leaves upon myear.

I do not love thee!—yet thy speakingeyes,

With their deep, bright, and most expressiveblue,

Between me and the midnight heavenarise,

Oftener than any eyes I ever knew.

I know I do not love thee! yet,alas!

Others will scarcely trust my candidheart;

And oft I catch them smiling as theypass,

Because they see me gazing where thou art
