第19站：《我更早爱上你，而后你爱得》克里斯蒂娜·罗塞蒂

【诗歌译文】

《我更早爱上你，而后你爱得》—— 克里斯蒂娜·罗塞蒂

我更早爱上你，而后你爱得

更加炽热，如一曲激昂的歌

淹没了我白鸽一般的轻柔细语。

哪一个爱得更多呢？我的爱绵长，

而你的爱在一瞬间绽放万道光芒；

我爱你，对你细细猜度，

你也爱着我，小心揣摩我——

不，如此费心衡量你我都错了。

因为真正的爱情从不知“你的”“我的”；

自由的爱里不会再有你我之别，

因为相爱之人你中有我，不分彼此：

深厚的从不说“你的并非我的”；

我们的爱情既炽热又绵长，

因为爱情已让你我融为一体。

 【诗歌原文】

《I Loved You First: But Afterwards Your Love》—— Christina Rossetti

I loved you first: but afterwards your love

Outsoaring mine, sang such a loftier song

As drowned the friendly cooings of my dove.

Which owes the other most? my love was long,

And yours one moment seemed to wax more strong;

I loved and guessed at you, you construed me

And loved me for what might or might not be—

Nay, weights and measures do us both a wrong.

For verily love knows not ‘mine’ or ‘thine;’

With separate ‘I’ and ‘thou’ free love has done,

For one is both and both are one in love:

Rich love knows nought of ‘thine that is not mine;’

Both have the strength and both the length thereof,

Both of us, of the love which makes us one.
