Early Death, Poem by Luo Zhihai

★Early Death

☆by Hartley Coleridge

SHE pass'd away like morning dew
Before the sun was high;
So brief her time, she scarcely knew
The meaning of a sigh.

As round the rose its soft perfume,
Sweet love around her floated;
Admired she grew- while mortal doom
Crept on, unfear'd, unnoted.

Love was her guardian Angel here,
But Love to Death resign'd her;
Tho' Love was kind, why should we fear
But holy Death is kinder?

★早逝

☆[英] 哈特利•柯勒律治(1796-1849) 诗
☆[中] 罗志海 译


她像早晨的露水一样走了
在太阳还未高高升起时
所以介绍她时，她几乎不知道
叹了口气的意思

当圆形玫瑰散发着柔香
甜蜜的爱情在她身边飘来飘去
她在赞赏声中成长——然而致命的死亡
蹑手蹑脚，毫不畏惧，不引人注意

爱情是她这儿的守护天使
爱情至死不渝地顺宠她
既然爱情是仁慈的，我们为什么要害怕
但神圣的死亡是仁慈的吗？
