《A Birthday》
My heart is like a singing bird
Whose nest is in a watered shoot;
My heart is like an apple-tree
Whose boughs are bent with thickset fruit;
My heart is like a rainbow shell
That paddles in a halcyon sea;
My heart is gladder than all these
Because my love is come to me
Raise me dais of silk and down;
Hang it with vair and purple dyes;
Carve it in doves and pome granates,
And peacocks with a hundred eyes;
Work it in gold and silver grapes,
In leaves and silver fleurs-de-lys;
Because the birthday of my life
Is come,mylove is come to me.
生日
我的心像歌唱的鸟儿
筑巢在湿湿的嫩枝上；
我的心像一颗苹果树
累累果实压弯了枝条；
我的心像彩虹的贝壳
在平静大海中翕动；
我的心比这一切更欢畅
因为我的爱正向我走来。
为我造一座丝绒铺就的高台；
挂上毛皮和紫色的饰物；
刻上鸽子和石榴的图案，
还有身披一百个眼睛的孔雀；
用金色和银色的葡萄装饰它，
用树叶和银鸢尾填满它；
因为我的新生已来临，
我的爱来到我面前。
