爱情英语诗歌：爱的迹象

　　Signs of Love 爱的迹象

　　If amorous faith, a heart of guileless ways,

　　Soft languors, courteously controlled desire,

　　And virtuous will, kindled with noble fire,

　　And lengthened wanderings in a lightless maze;

　　假如爱的迹象是深情的信念, 纯真的心灵,

　　柔和而又恬静, 礼貌地控制着的欲念,

　　在高贵的火焰里燃烧的美好的意愿,

　　还有在黑暗的道路上漫长的旅行;

　　If thoughts, which evermore the brow displays,

　　Or words that faint and brokenly suspire,

　　Still checked with fear and shame; if hues no higher

　　Than the pale violet hath, or love displays;

　　假如爱的迹象是眉头上显露的思绪,

　　或是由于受到恐惧和羞涩的羁绊,

　　使话语变成了凌乱而又微弱的感叹,

　　是爱情显现出的紫罗兰一样的淡意;

　　If holding some one than one's self more dear,

　　If sorrowing and sighing evermore,

　　If chewing grief, and rage, and many a cross,

　　If burning far away, and freezing near,

　　Are signs that love consumes me to the core,

　　Yours, lady, is the fault and mine the loss.

　　假如爱的迹象是关心他人胜过自我,

　　是无穷无尽的悲伤和叹息,

　　是咀嚼着痛苦、愤怒和悲哀;

　　假如爱的迹象是在远处燃烧, 在近处冻结,

　　那么我的身心已经被爱情销蚀,

　　姑娘啊, 这就是你的过错和我的失败.
