永遠不要表達你的愛

Never Seek to Tell Thy Love

                                             William Blake

Never seek to tell thy love,

永遠不要表達你的愛

Love that never told can be;

那愛不盡在言語中

For the gentle wind doth move

因為清風拂過

Silently, invisibly,

輕輕地，不留一絲痕跡

I told my love, I told my love,

我表達了我的愛，我表達了我的愛，

I told her all my heart;

我告訴了她我的所思所想

Trembling, cold, in ghastly fears,

顫抖、寒冷、如死一般的恐懼

Ah! She did depart.

唉！她竟然飄然離去

Soon after she was gone from me,

她與我分手后沒多久

A traveler came by,

一個行人與我擦肩而過

Silently, invisibly:

輕輕地，不留一絲痕跡

He took her with a sigh.

伴著我的一聲嘆息，他將她帶走
