幻影

幻影

梦中希望是梦一场，
只是场梦； 现已醒悟，
极度的不适、疲惫与陈旧，
为梦想故。

我把竖琴挂在树上，
湖中的那棵垂柳树；
竖琴那里挂，拧紧并弹响
为梦想故。

安静，安静，破碎的心；
沉默的心，安静，伤透：
生活、世界和自己，都改变
为梦想故。

Mirage
The hope I dreamed of was a dream,
Was but a dream; and now I wake,
Exceeding comfortless, and worn, and old,
For a dream's sake.

I hang my harp upon a tree,
A weeping willow in a lake;
I hang my silent harp there, wrung and snapt
For a dream's sake.

Lie still, lie still, my breaking heart;
My silent heart, lie still and break:
Life, and the world, and [mine]1 own self, are changed
For a dream's sake.
by Christina Georgina Rossetti , 'Mirage', appears
