I dare not ask a kiss,
I dare not beg a smile,
Lest having that, or this,
I might grow proud the while.
No, no, the utmost share
Of my desire shall be
Only to kiss that air
That lately kissed thee.
-Robert Herrich
寄情
我不敢求你一吻,
我也不敢求你一笑,
如果我有了這,有了那,
那時我就會驕傲。
不!不!我不敢奢求,
我最大的期望,
只是想吻一吻,
才吻過你的那些空氣。
-Robert Herrich
