Signs of Love

　　爱的迹象

　　If amorous faith, a heart of guileless ways,
　　假如爱的迹象是深情的信念, 纯真的心灵,
　　Soft languors, courteously controlled desire,
　　柔和而又恬静, 礼貌地控制着的欲念,
　　And virtuous will, kindled with noble fire,
　　在高贵的火焰里燃烧的美好的意愿,
　　And lengthened wanderings in a lightless maze;
　　还有在黑暗的道路上漫长的旅行;
　　If thoughts, which evermore the brow displays,
　　假如爱的迹象是眉头上显露的思绪,
　　Or words that faint and brokenly suspire,
　　或是由于受到恐惧和羞涩的羁绊,
　　Still checked with fear and shame; if hues no higher
　　使话语变成了凌乱而又微弱的感叹,
　　Than the pale violet hath, or love displays;
　　是爱情显现出的紫罗兰一样的淡意;
　　If holding some one than one's self more dear,
　　假如爱的迹象是关心他人胜过自我,
　　If sorrowing and sighing evermore,
　　是无穷无尽的悲伤和叹息,

　　If chewing grief, and rage, and many a cross,
　　是咀嚼着痛苦、愤怒和悲哀;
　　If burning far away, and freezing near,
　　假如爱的迹象是在远处燃烧, 在近处冻结,
　　Are signs that love consumes me to the core,
　　那么我的身心已经被爱情销蚀,
　　Yours, lady, is the fault and mine the loss.
　　姑娘啊, 这就是你的过错和我的失败.
