一直很安静

On A Faded Violet 一朵枯萎的紫罗兰

The odor from the flower is gone, 这朵花的香气已经散失，

Which like thy kisses breathed on me; 如你的吻对我吐露过的气息；

The color from the flower is flown, 这朵花的颜色已经退去，

Which glowed of thee, and only thee! 如你曾焕发过的明亮，只有你！

A shriveled, lifeless, vacant form, 一个萎缩、死的、空虚的形体，

It lies on my abandoned breast, 它在我荒废的胸口，

And mocks the heart, which yet is warm, 以它冷漠和无声的安息

With cold and silent rest. 嘲弄我那仍炽热的心。

I weep ---- my tears revive it not; 我哭泣，泪水无法复活它；

I sigh ---- it breathes no more on me; 我叹息，它的气息永远不再；

Its mute and uncomplaining lot 它沉默、无怨的命运，

Is such as mine should be. 正是我所应得的。
