Spring in War-Time

Sarah Teasdale

I feel the spring far off, far off,
The faint, far scent of bud and leaf --
Oh, how can spring take heart to come
To a world in grief,
Deep grief?

The sun turns north, the days grow long,
Later the evening star grows bright --
How can the daylight linger on
For men to fight
Still fight?

The grass is waking in the ground,
Soon it will rise and blow in waves --
How can it have the heart to sway
Over the graves,
New graves?

Under the boughs where lovers walked
The apple-blooms will shed their breath --
But what of all the lovers now
Parted by Death,
Grey Death?


战时之春

作者：莎拉·蒂斯代尔
翻译：苑眉

我感觉春天还很远，很远，
那淡淡而迢遥的蓓蕾绿叶芳香——
噢，春天怎么才能振作起来
来到一个满是忧伤的地方，
深沉的忧伤？

太阳转北，白昼渐长，
夜星迟迟方亮——
日光怎么可以流连闲逛
为了人们前去打仗
依然在打仗？

地里的青草正在苏醒，
很快就会破土而出，风吹草浪——
它怎么可以忍心摇摆晃荡
于这些墓穴上，
新的墓穴上？

恋人们曾经漫步的枝叶下，
苹果树花儿将轻吐芬芳——
而所有的恋人们如今都怎样
生死相隔两茫茫，
灰暗的死亡？
