Let It Be Forgotten?
Sara Teasdale
Let it be forgotten, as a flower is forgotten,
Forgotten as a fire that once was singing gold.
Let it be forgotten forever and ever,
Time is a kind friend, he will make us old.
If anyone asks, say it was forgotten
Long and long ago,
As a flower, as a fire, as a hushed footfall
In a long-forgotten snow.
忘掉它
萨拉·梯斯代尔
忘掉它,就像忘掉鲜艳的花朵;
忘掉它,就像忘掉呼呼燃烧的金色烈火;
永远永远忘掉,
善良的时间朋友会替我们操作。
如果有人问起,就说已经忘却,
很久很久,隐隐绰绰;
在一场早已淡忘的大雪之中,
像花朵,像烈火,像脚步悄然走过。
