歌
当我死去，亲爱的，
别为我唱悲伤的歌；
你不必在坟边插种玫瑰，
我也无需柏树来荫蔽：
让我覆盖上青青草地
淋着阵雨，湿着露滴：
若你愿意，就想起。
若你愿意，就忘记。
我将看不到阴翳，
我将看不到落雨；
我将听不到夜莺
仿佛痛苦的啼唱；
还梦见曙暮的微光
既不消弥也不增强，
或许，我会想起，
或许，我会忘记。
Song
By Christina G. Rossetti
When I am dead, my dearest,
Sing no sad songs for me;
Plant thou no roses at my head,
Nor shady cypress tree:
Be the green grass above me
With showers and dewdrops wet:
And if thou wilt, remember,
And if thou wilt, forget.
I shall not see the shadows,
I shall not see the rain;
I shall not hear the nightingle
Sing on as if in pain:
And dreaming through the twilight
That doth not rise nor set,
Haply I may remember,
And haply I may forget.
