约翰·多恩[1]
留下来,我的爱,别起身;
那照耀的光只是你明亮的眼神;
天空未破晓,破碎的是我的心,
因为你和我即刻要离分。
留下吧,别让我的欢乐死去,
别把它扼杀在摇篮里。
Break of Day
John Donne
Stay, O sweet, and do not rise;
The light that shines comes from thine eyes;
The day breaks not, it is my heart,
Because that you and I must part.
Stay, or else my joys will die,
And perish in their infancy.
