Remember
By Christina Rossetti
Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you plann’d:
Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.
Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.
记起
请记住我，当我离去
去往遥远的寂静之地
彼时你再也不能牵住我手
而我也无法若离若留
请记住我，当日月流转
而你不再能向我描绘你筹划的未来
只需你记住我，你明白
劝告与祷告都已太晚
但若你暂忘我
后忆起，莫伤悲
因为黑暗与腐坏能留下
我的思绪片羽
我宁愿你欢声笑语，将我忘记
也远胜于愁眉苦脸中记起
