Silent noon

              ——Dante Gabriel Rossetti

Your hands lie open in the long fresh grass,--

The finger-points look through like rosy blooms: 

Your eyes smile peace. The pasture gleams and glooms

'Neath billowing skies that scatter and amass. 

All round our nest, far as the eye can pass, 

Are golden kingcup-fields with silver edge

Where the cow-parsley skirts the hawthorn hedge.

'Tis Visible silence, still as the hour-glass. 

 

Deep in the sun- searched growths the dragon-fly

Hangs like a blue-thread loosened from the sky; 

So this wing's hour is dropt to us from above. 

Oh! Clasp we to our hearts, for deathless dower, 

This close-companioned inarticulate hour

When two-fold silence was the song of love.

 

nǐ　de　shǒu　shēnzhǎn　zài　xiānnèn　de　cháng　cǎo　lǐ

你的手伸展在鲜嫩的长草里——

zhǐjiān　chéngxiànchū　méiguīhuā　shèngkāi　shí　de　yánsè
指尖呈现出玫瑰花盛开时的颜色：

nǐ　de　yǎnjīng　yàngzhe　tiánjìng　de　wēixiào。 yúnhǎi　xiōngyǒng　de　chángkōng　xià
你的眼睛漾着恬静的微笑。云海汹涌的长空下

mùchǎng　shíér　guāngmáng　shǎnyào,shíér　hūn'àn　wúguāng
牧场时而光芒闪耀，时而昏暗无光。

zài　wǒmen　de　jūsuǒ　zhōuwéi,zài　wǒmen　de　shìyě　zhī　nèi
在我们的居所周围，在我们的视野之内，

shǐ　xiāngzhe　yínbiān　de　jīnhuángsè　de　jīnfènghuā
是镶着银边的金黄色的金凤花

shì　cēncī　huánrào　de　shānmáojǔ　líba
是参差环绕的山毛榉篱笆。

zhè　xiǎn'éryìjiàn　de　chénjìng,shālòu　yībān　de　chénjìng
这显而易见的沉静，沙漏一般的沉静。

 

yángguāng　zhuīzhú　de　zhīmiáo　shēnchù,xuánguàzhe　yīzhī　qīngtíng

阳光追逐的枝苗深处，悬挂着一只蜻蜓，
xiàng　tiānkōng　sāleshǒu　de　yīgēn　lán　xiàn

像天空撒了手的一根蓝线，

xiàng　shēngzhe　shuāngyì　de　shíguāng　cóng　wǒmen　tóudǐng　jiàngluò
像生着双翼的时光从我们头顶降落。

a!tiējǐn　wǒmen　de　xīn　ba,wèile　zhè　bùxiǔ　de　kuìzèng
啊！贴紧我们的心吧，为了这不朽的馈赠，

zhè　qīnmì　xiāngbàn　de　chénmò　shíguāng
这亲密相伴的沉默时光，

shuāngchóng　de　chénmò　jiùshì　yīshǒu　aìqíng　zhī　gē
双重的沉默就是一首爱情之歌。
