On A Faded Violet

The odor from the flower is gone,

Which like thy kisses breathed on me;

The color from the flower is flown,

Which glowed of thee, and only thee!

A shriveled, lifeless, vacant form,

It lies on my abandoned breast,

And mocks the heart, which yet is warm,

With cold and silent rest.

I weep ---- my tears revive it not;

I sigh ---- it breathes no more on me;

Its mute and uncomplaining lot

Is such as mine should be.

On A Faded Violet 一朵枯萎的紫罗兰

The odor from the flower is gone, 这朵花的香气已经褪去，

Which like thy kisses breathed on me; 犹如吻我的气息；

The color from the flower is flown, 这朵花的颜色已经黯淡，

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、毫无声息、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, With cold and silent rest. 以它冰冷和无声的安息嘲弄我那仍炽热的心。

I weep ---- my tears revive it not; 我哭泣，泪水无法使他复活；

I sigh ---- it breathes no more on me; 我叹息，永远不再感受他的气息；

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。

thee是英语古语,相当于现代的you~:P :P
这首诗是英国浪漫主义诗人Percy Bysshe Shelley(珀西·比西·雪莱)的作品~大学时背过的~呵呵~
