The Sleeping Beauty|睡美人

Sleep on, and dream of Heaven awhile—
Tho'1shut so close thy laughing eyes,
Thy2 rosy lips still wear a smile
And move and breathe delicious sighs!

Ah, now soft blushes3 tinge4 her cheeks
And mantle5 o'er6 her neck of snow;
Ah, now she murmurs7, now she speaks
What most I wish—and fear to know!

She starts8, she trembles, and she weeps!
Her fair hands folded on her breast;
—And now, how like a saint she sleeps!
A seraph9 in the realms10 of rest!

Sleep on secure! Above control
Thy thoughts belong to Heaven and thee11;
And may the secret of thy soul
Remain within its sanctuary12!


睡不停,梦见天堂有一阵——
纵使笑眼闭得紧,
红唇依旧绽笑纹,
唇动叹息也可人!

 


羞涩浅红染两颊,
雪白玉颈相掩映;
细细语,低低吟,
尤喜尤恐知其声!

梦惊,颤栗,泪几行!
纤纤素手覆胸上;
睡稳又似高者卧!
仿佛天使眠安祥!

 


睡不停,睡安然!
思绪带你到上天;
愿你心中隐秘事,
留在灵魂庇护殿!
