第八首

你那样慷慨豪爽的施主呀,你把

上海龙凤shlf最新地址What can I give thee back, O liberal

你心坎里金碧辉煌的宝藏、

And Princely giver, who hast brought the gold

原封地掏出来,只往我墙外推,

And purple of thine heart, unstained, untold,

上海龙凤shlf最新地址任凭象我这样的人去拣起,还是

And laid them on the outside of the wall

把这罕见的舍施丢下;教我拿什么

For such as I to take or leave withal, [1]

上海龙凤shlf最新地址来作为你应得的报答?请不要

In unexpected largesse? am I cold,

上海龙凤shlf最新地址说我太冷漠、太寡恩,你那许多

Ungrateful, that for these most manifold

上海龙凤shlf最新地址重重叠叠的深情厚意,我却

High gifts, I render nothing back at all?

上海龙凤shlf最新地址没有一些儿回敬;不,并不是

上海龙凤shlf最新地址Not so; not cold, -- but very poor instead.

冷漠无情,实在我太寒伧。你问

Ask God who knows. For frequent tears have run

上帝就明白。那连绵的泪雨冲尽了

The colours from my life, and left so dead

上海龙凤shlf最新地址我生命的光彩,只剩一片死沉沉的

And pale a stuff, it were not fitly done

苍白,不配给你当偎依的枕头。

To give the same as pillow to thy head.

上海龙凤shlf最新地址走吧!尽把它踏在脚下,作垫石。

Go further! let it serve to trample on.

上海龙凤shlf最新地址[1] withal, Original meaning is 'likewise', or 'at the same time'.
