Love Without Hope (1925)
Robert Graves 1895-1985
Love without hope, as when the young bird-catcher
Swept off his tall hat to the Squire’s own daughter,
So let the imprisoned larks escape and fly
Singing about her head, as she rode by.
無望的愛情
譯/行路人2018.08.31
無望的愛情玄叠,折磨著捕鳥少年的心
當(dāng)他脫下禮帽百侧,向馬上的人兒致敬
那是鄉(xiāng)紳的愛女,款款地騎行而過
他放飛籠中的云雀框喳,旋歌于她頭頂
