我的唇吻過誰的唇

 

What Lips My Lips Have Kissed

What lips my lips have kissed, and where, and why,
I have forgotten, and what arms have lain
Under my head till morning; but the rain
Is full of ghosts tonight, that tap and sigh
Upon the glass and listen for reply,
And in my heart there stirs a quiet pain
For unremembered lads that not again
Will turn to me at midnight with a cry.
Thus in
the winter stands the lonely tree,
Nor knows what birds have vanished one by one,
Yet knows its boughs more silent than before:
I cannot say what loves have come and gone,
I only know that summer sang in me
A little while, that in me sings no more.

By(Edna St. Vincent Millay, 1892-1950)


我的唇吻過誰的唇 

我的唇吻過誰的唇,何處,為何,
我已經忘記,而誰的手臂又曾經
讓我的頭
安枕到天明;今夜
雨中鬼影幢幢,
拍打復嘆息於
窗玻璃上,並且側耳等候回答,
一股隱隱的疼痛在我心中湧起
為那些已忘卻的少年,他們再不會
一聲吶喊,向我奔來,在午夜時分。
孤寂的樹,如是,兀立在冬日,
不知道一一消失的是什麼鳥兒,
只知道它的枝頭比以前淒清:
我說不出什麼愛情來了又去,
只知道夏天曾經在我的身上
短暫歌唱過,而後不再歌唱。
