The Sleeping Beauty - 睡美人
——by Samuel Rogers
Sleep on ,and dream of Heaven awhile-----
Tho' shut so close thy laughing eyes,
Thy rosy lips still wear a smile
And move and breathe delicious sighs!
Ah ,now soft blushes tinge her cheeks
And mantle o'er her neck of snow;
Ah,now she murmurs, now she speaks
What most I wish--------and fear to know!
She starts ,she trembles ,and she weeps!
Her fair hands folded on her breast;
-------And now ,how like a saint she sleeps!
A seraph in the realms of rest!
Sleep on secure! A bove control
Thy thoughts belong to Heaven and thee;
And may the secret of thy soul
Remain within its sanctuary!
睡不停，梦见天堂有一阵---
纵使笑眼闭得紧，
红唇依旧绽笑纹，
唇动叹息也可人！
羞涩浅红染两颊，
雪白玉颈相掩映；
细细语，低低吟，
尤喜尤恐知其声！
梦惊，颤栗，泪几行！
纤纤素手覆胸上；
睡稳又似高者卧！
仿佛天使眠安详！
睡不停，睡安然！
思绪带你到天堂；
愿你心中隐秘事，
留在灵魂庇护殿！
