Three Shadows
(Dante Gabriel Rossetti, 1828－1882)

I looked and saw your eyes
In the shadow of your hair,
As a traveler sees the stream
In the shadow of the wood;
And I said, "My faint heart sighs
Ah me! to linger there,
To drink deep and to dream
In that sweet solitude."

I looked and saw your heart
In the shadow of your eyes,
As a seeker sees the gold
In the shadow of the stream;
And I said, "Ah me! what art
Should win the immortal prize,
Whose want must make life cold
And Heaven a hollow dream?"

I looked and saw your love
In the shadow of your heart,
As a diver sees the pearl
In the shadow of the sea;
And I murmured, not above
My breath, but all apart,－
"Ah! you can love, true girl,
And is your love for me?"


三重影
（尤克強譯）

我望見你的眼瞳
躲入你的髮影
如旅人發現了溪流
藏在樹影盡頭
我說：「我疲憊的心渴望
好好憩息一場
痛快地啜飲再入夢
沉睡於甜蜜的寂靜」

我望見你的心靈
潛入你的眼影
如淘金客發現黃金
藏在波影粼粼
我說：「究竟要何才能
方得獲獎永存？
若不然生命唯餘冰冷
天堂虛幻如夢」

我望見你的愛情
溜入你的心影
如潛水夫發現珍珠
藏在浪影深處
我喃喃自語 輕聲下氣
音調卻斷斷續續——
「你儘可去愛！鍾情的女孩
但你願愛我還是不願？」
