The Falling of the Leaves
- Autumn is over the long leaves that love us,
- And over the mice in the barley sheaves;
- Yellow the leaves of the rowan above us,
- And yellow the wet wild-strawberry leaves.
- The hour of the waning of love has beset us,
- And weary and worn are our sad souls now;
- Let us part, ere the season of passion forget us,
- With a kiss and a tear on thy drooping brow.
叶落
- 秋色染上了爱我们的细长树叶，
- 染上了大麦垛子里田鼠的毛皮；
- 枯黄了，我们头顶上的山梨树叶，
- 枯黄了，露水打湿的野草莓叶子。
- 爱情衰减的时辰已困住了我们，
- 我们忧伤的灵魂又厌倦又疲惫；
- 分手吧，趁情热季节没忘掉我们，
- 你低下额头带上一记吻一滴泪！
傅浩 译
