When I Have Fears
When I have fears that I may cease to be
Before my pen has gleaned my teeming brain,
Before high piled books, in charactery,
Hold like rich garners the full-ripened grain;
When I behold, upon the night’s starred face,
Huge cloudy symbols of a high romance,
And think that I may never live to trace
Their shadows, with the magic hand of chance;
And when I feel, fair creature of an hour!
That I shall never look upon thee more,
Never have relish in the faery power
Of unreflecting love; —then on the shore
Of the wide world I stand alone, and think
Till Love and Fame to nothingness do sink.
每当我害怕
每当我害怕生命或许就要止息，
我的笔来不及苦集盈溢的思绪，
或把文字变为高高堆起的书籍，
像饱贮的谷仓蓄满成熟的谷米；
每当我看见那缀满繁星的夜景，
巨大星云画出非凡的传奇幻像，
想到即使运气帮忙，对我垂青，
生前或许也无法追摹这些云影；
每当我感到那瞬间即逝的美颜，
也许从今以后再也不可能看见，
更无法享受轻松爱情魔力若仙
——于是，在广袤世界的崖岸，
我形孤影单地伫立，细细思量，
直到爱与声名沉入乌有的穹苍。
