Herry Wadsworth Longfellow
享利·沃兹渥斯·朗费罗
The tide rises, the tide falls,
The twilight darkens, the curlew calls;
Along the sea — sands damp and brown
The traveler hastens toward the town,
And the tide rises, the tide falls.
潮涨,潮落,
暮色渐浓,麻鹬鸣叫;
沿着潮湿灰褐色沙滩,
行路人匆匆往城里赶,
潮涨,潮落。
Darkness settles on roofs and walls,
But the sea, the sea in the darkness calls;
The little waves, with their soft, white hands,
Efface the footprints in the sands,
And the tide rises, the tide falls.
黑暗把屋顶墙壁笼罩,
但大海在黑暗中呼啸;
细浪白白的手,悄悄
把海滩上的脚印抹掉,
潮涨,潮落。
The morning breaks; the steeds in their stalls
Stamp and neigh, as the hostler calls;
The day returns, but never more
Returns the traveler to the shore,
And the tide rises, the tide falls.
破晓时分,厩中骏马
闻马夫唤,踏啼嘶鸣;
海岸边,白昼又来到,
但行人从此形去影消,
潮涨,潮落。
