Now welcome, summer, with thy sunshine soft,
This wintry weather thou wilt overtake,
And drive away the night so long and black!
Saint Valentine, thou who art crowned aloft,
The little birds are singing for thy sake;
Now welvome, summer, with thy sunshine soft,
This wintry weather thou wilt overtake.
They have good reason to be glad, and oft,
Since each has found his mate in bush and brake.
O blissfully they sing when they awake;
Now welcome, summers with thy sunshine soft,
This wintry weather thou wilt overtake,
And drive away the night so long and black!. 作者: ououmama 时间: 2012-3-9 22:38 标题: A Rondel of Merciless Beauty 无情美人回旋曲
A Rondel of Merciless Beauty
——Geoffrey Chaucer
Your two great eyes will slay me suddenly;
Their beauty shakes me who was once serene,
Straight through my heart the wound is quick and keen
Only your word will heal the injury
To my hurt heart ,while yet the wound is clean——
Your two great eyes will slay me suddenly;
Their beauty shakes me who was once serene,
Upon my word, I tell you faithfully
Through life and after death you are my queen,
For with my death the whole truth shall be seen.
Your two great eyes will slay me suddenly;
Their beauty shakes me who was once serene,
Straight through my heart the wound is quick and keen.
