Remember Me When I Am Gone Away
Christina Georgina Rossetti (1830-1894)
Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go, yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you planned
Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray
Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve;
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.
记着我吧
克里斯蒂娜·乔治娜·罗塞蒂 (1830-1894年)
记着我吧,当我离你而去,
去到遥远的地方一片寂静;
那时你再不能把我的手拉紧,
我也不能转身要走却又迟疑。
记着我吧,当你再不能天天
告诉我你为咱俩设计的未来;
只要你还记着我;你也明白
那时商量或祈祷都为时已晚。
但你若想要暂时将我忘掉,
然后再把我记起,也不必忧伤;
因为在那黑暗和腐朽之乡,
若尚能留下些许我过去的思绪,
我但愿你能将我忘记而微笑,
也远远胜似你伤心地把我记起。
