Sonnets of William Shakespeare-Sonnet 73

　　When yellow leaves, or none, or few, do hang

　　Upon those boughs which shake against the cold,

　　Bare ruin'd choirs, where late the sweet birds sang.

　　In me thou seest the twilight of such day

　　As after sunset fadeth in the west,

　　Which by and by black night doth take away,

　　Death's second self, that seals up all in rest.

　　In me thou see'st the glowing of such fire

　　That on the ashes of his youth doth lie,

　　As the death-bed whereon it must expire

　　Consumed with that which it was nourish'd by.

　　This thou perceivest, which makes thy love more strong,

　　To love that well which thou must leave ere long.

　　在我身上你或許會(huì)看見(jiàn)秋天，

　　當(dāng)黃葉，或盡脫，或只三三兩兩

　　掛在瑟縮的枯枝上索索抖顫--

　　荒廢的歌壇，那里百鳥(niǎo)曾合唱。

　　在我身上你或許會(huì)看見(jiàn)暮靄，

　　它在日落后向西方徐徐消退：

　　黑夜，死的化身，漸漸把它趕開(kāi)，

　　嚴(yán)靜的安息籠住紛紜的萬(wàn)類(lèi)。

　　在我身上你或許全看見(jiàn)余燼，

　　它在青春的寒灰里奄奄一息，

　　在慘淡靈床上早晚總要斷魂，

　　給那滋養(yǎng)過(guò)它的烈焰所銷(xiāo)毀。

　　看見(jiàn)了這些，你的愛(ài)就會(huì)加強(qiáng)，

　　因?yàn)樗D(zhuǎn)瞬要辭你溘然長(zhǎng)往。
