The Thing You Leave Undone


It isn’t the thing you do, dear,
It’s the thing you leave undone,
Which gives you a bit of a heartache
At the setting of the sun
The tender word forgotten,
The letter you did not write,
The flower you might have sent, dear,
Are your haunting ghosts tonight.

-Margaret Elizabeth Sangster



不了情

在太陽下山時,
使你心痛的,親愛的,
不是你已吐露的心意,
而是你沒有表達的濃情:
你忘了說的溫柔話,
你沒有寫的情書,
你不妨送她的花束,
親愛的,這種種,
今宵將苦苦地使你一夜不眠!

-Margaret Elizabeth Sangster
