Let It Be Forgotten

　　Sara Teasdale

　　Let it be forgotten, as a flower is forgotten,

　　Forgotten as a fire that once was singing gold.

　　Let it be forgotten forever and ever,

　　Time is a kind friend, he will make us old.

　　If anyone asks, say it was forgotten

　　Long and long ago,

　　As a flower, as a fire, as a hushed footfall

　　In a long-forgotten snow.

　　忘掉它

　　萨拉梯斯代尔

　　忘掉它，就像忘掉鲜艳的花朵;

　　忘掉它，就像忘掉呼呼燃烧的金色烈火;

　　永远永远忘掉，

　　善良的时间朋友会替我们操作。

　　如果有人问起，就说已经忘却，

　　很久很久，隐隐绰绰;

　　在一场早已淡忘的大雪之中，

　　像花朵，像烈火，像脚步悄然走过。
