Acquainted with the night 黑夜的知己
I have been one acquainted with the night.
I have walked out in rain --and back in rain. I have outwalked the furthest city light. I have looked down the saddest city lane. I have passed by the watchman on his beat And dropped my eyes, unwilling to explain. 我以为我早就熟悉这黑夜。
我冒雨出去，又冒雨回来。 我已越出街灯照亮的边界。 我看到城中的小巷最悲惨。 我经过敲更的守夜人身边， 我不愿多讲，低垂下眼帘。 I have stood still and stopped the sound of feet
When far away an interrupted cry Came over houses from another street, But not to call me back or say good-bye; And further still at an unearthly height One luminary clock against the sky Proclaimed the time was neither wrong nor right. I have been one acquainted with the night. 我停住，脚步再也听不见，
从另一条街升起越过屋顶 传来一声好似折断的哭喊， 那不是叫我回去或说再见； 在更远、远离尘世的高处， 有一座钟悬着，一闪一闪， 它宣称时间不错又不正确， 我以为我早就熟悉这黑夜。 |
