Love's Secret
by William Blake
Never seek to tell thy love,
Love that never told can be;
For the gentle wind does move
Silently, invisibly.
I told my love, I told my love,
I told her all my heart;
Trembling, cold, in ghastly fears,
Ah! she did depart!
Soon as she was gone from me,
A traveler came by,
Silently, invisibly,
He took her with a sigh.
爱的秘密
黄雨石 译
爱情永不宜在情人面前搬弄，
永不要对她说出你的心意，
你只看那轻轻吹动着的微风，
它总一声不响、不露形迹。
我就曾对情人吐露我的爱情，
战栗着、哆嗦着、带着恐惧，
我让她完全看透了我的心。
但结果啊！她很快就把我抛弃！
等她刚刚离开我的眼前，
一声不响、不露形迹，
一个过路人来到她的身边，
她轻叹了一声便随他而去
