Take off your cloak and your hat
And your shoes, and draw up at my hearth
Where never woman sat.

I have made the fire up bright;
Let us leave the rest in the dark
And sit by firelight.

The wine is warm in the hearth;
The flickers come and go.
I will warm your limbs with kisses
Until they glow.



十二月之夜

脫掉你的斗篷與帽子
還有你的鞋，靠近我的爐邊來
這兒未曾有女士坐過。

我已讓爐火灼灼燃起；
讓我們歸周遭於黑暗
讓我們同坐在爐火光旁。

酒在爐上溫著；
火苗時明時滅。
我要以熱吻溫暖你的四肢
直至發熱。
