So We'll Go No More A-Roving

很久以前看雷．布萊伯利的《火星紀事》時喜歡上的一首詩。拜倫的。

So We'll Go No More A-Roving

1

So we'll go nor more-a-roving

So late into the night,

Though the heart be still as bright.

2

For the sword outwears its sheath,

And the soul wears out the breast,

And the heart must pause to breathe,

And Love itself have rest.

3

Though the night was made for loving,

And the day returns too soon,

Yet we'll go no more a-roving

By the light of the moon.

1836

中譯版本：皇冠出版社，林翰昌，《火星紀事》

於是我們不再漂泊
　在這無比深沉的晚上，
儘管愛意長留心中，
　而月色依然明亮。

只因皮鞘抵不住劍鋒，
　靈魂也磨穿胸膛。
此心務必停歇喘息，
　愛更需休眠滋養。

縱使夜是愛的擅揚，
　轉眼卻要歸返天光，
而我們將不再漂泊，
　雖然月色依舊皎潔明亮。

我喜歡靈魂磨穿胸膛的感覺。
