When I am Dead, my dearest 歌

When I am dead, my dearest,
Sing no sad songs for me;
Plant thou no roses at my head,
Nor shady cypress tree:

Be the green grass above me,

With showers and dewdrops wet;

And if thou wilt, remember,

And if you wilt, forget.

I shall not see the shadows,

I shall not feel the rain;

I shall not hear the nightingale,

Sing on, as if in pain;

And dreaming though the twilight,

That doth not rise nor set;

Haply I may remember,

And haply I may forget.

When I am Dead, my dearest

Christina Rossetti

當我死去的時候, 親愛的,

你別為我唱悲傷的歌;

我墳上不必安插薔薇,

也無需濃蔭的柏樹。

讓蓋著我的青青的草,

淋著雨也沾著露珠;

假如你願意, 請記著我,

要是你甘心，忘了我。

我再見不到地面的青陰,

覺不到雨露的甜蜜;

我再聽不到夜鶯的歌喉,

在黑夜裡傾訴悲啼。

在悠久的昏暮中迷惘,

陽光不升起也不消翳;

我也許、也許我還記得你,

我也許把你忘記。
