无心剑中译蒂斯黛尔《我愿活在你的爱里》

I Would Live In Your Love

我愿活在你的爱里

Sara Teasdale

莎拉·蒂斯黛尔

I would live in your love as the sea-grasses live in the sea,
Borne up by each wave as it passes, drawn down by each wave that recedes;
I would empty my soul of the dreams that have gathered in me,
I would beat with your heart as it beats, I would follow your soul as it leads.

我愿活在你的爱里，宛如海草活在海里
随每一次潮起而生，随每一次潮落而息
我要清空我的灵魂，曾有梦在那儿聚集
我愿与你心跳同步，随你灵魂天涯浪迹
