Sun of the Sleepless
失眠人的太阳
by George Gordon Byron
乔治·戈登·拜伦
Sun of the sleepless! melancholy star!
Whose tearful beam glows tremulously far,
That show'st the darkness thou canst not dispel,
How like art thou to joy remember'd well!
呵，失眠人的太阳！忧郁的星！
有如泪珠，你射来抖颤的光明
只不过显现你逐不开的幽暗，
你多么象欢乐追忆在心坎！
So gleams the past, the light of other days,
Which shines, but warms not with its powerless rays;
A night-beam Sorrow watcheth to behold,
Distinct but distant -- clear -- but, oh how cold!
“过去”，那往日的明辉也在闪烁，
但它微弱的光却没有一丝热；
“忧伤”尽在了望黑夜的一线光明，
它清晰，却遥远；灿烂，但多么寒冷！
