Christina Rossetti

克里斯蒂娜·羅塞蒂

I wish I could remember that first day

First hour， first moment of your meeting me

If bright or dim the season

It might be Summer or Winter for aught I can say

So unrecorded did it slip away

So blind was I to see and to foresee

So dull to mark the budding of my tree

That would not blossom for many a May

If only I could recollect it

Such a day of days

I let it come and go

As traceless as a thaw of bygone snow

It seemed to mean so little， meant so much

If only now I could recall that touch

First touch of hand in hand—Did one but know

但愿我不曾忘記遇到你的第一天

第一個(gè)小時(shí)、第一個(gè)瞬間

季節(jié)是明亮還是幽暗

是夏天冬天或者其他

記憶中你已消失不見

蹤影無處可以找尋

似乎在我生命里看不到任何線索

而我生命也因此錯(cuò)過很多花期

但愿能夠再回憶起與你相遇

那個(gè)很多天中的一天

當(dāng)你在我生命中擦肩而過

像冰雪消融不留痕跡

看來微不足道，原來卻意義重大

但愿我不曾忘記那最初的相遇

那時(shí)是否我曾經(jīng)牽過你的手

Christina Rossetti與Elizabeth Browning、Emily Brote并稱Victorian時(shí)代英國三大女詩人。她出生在天主教家庭，詩風(fēng)含蓄而多情，又不乏理性，被Woolf稱為“英格蘭的夜鶯”。
