by Christina Georgina Rossetti
(1830-1894)
When I am dead, my dearest,
Sing no sad songs for me;
Plant thou no roses at my head,
Nor shady cypress tree:
Be the green grass above me
With showers and dewdrops wet;
And if thou wilt, remember,
And if thou wilt, forget.
I shall not see the shadows,
I shall not feel the rain;
I shall not hear the nightingale
Sing on, as if in pain:
And dreaming through the twilight
That doth not rise nor set,
Haply I may remember,
And haply may forget.
【詩】徐志摩〈歌〉(1928 譯)‧【作曲】羅大佑 (1974)
--原詩Christina Georgina Rossetti
當我死去的時候 親愛的
你別為我唱悲傷的歌
我墳上不必安插薔薇
也無須濃蔭的柏樹
讓蓋著我的青青的草
淋著雨也沾著露珠
假如你願意請記著我
要是你甘心忘了我
在悠久的昏暮中迷惘
陽光不升起也不消翳
我也許 也許我還記得你
我也許把你忘記
我再不見地面的清蔭
覺不到雨露的甜蜜
我再聽不見夜鶯的歌喉
在黑夜裡傾吐悲啼
在悠久的昏暮中迷惘
陽光不升起也不消翳
我也許 也許我還記得你
我也許把你忘記
