只恐我把你和大家混在一起，你独自站在一边。
I know， I know your art.
我知道，我知道你的妙计，
You never walk the path you would.
你从来不走你所要走的路。
Your claim is more than that of others， that is why you are silent.
你的要求比别人都多，因此你才静默。
With playful carelessness you avoid my gifts.

I know， I know your art.

Would you put your wreath of fresh flowers on my neck， fair one？
"你愿意把你的鲜花的花环挂在我的颈上么，佳人？"
But you must know that the one wreath that I had woven is for the many， for those who are seen in glimpses， or dwell in lands unexplored， or live in poets' songs.
"但是你要晓得，我编的那个花环，是为大家的，为那些偶然瞥见的人，住在未开发的大地上的人，住在诗人歌曲里的人。"
It is too late to ask my heart in return for yours.
现在来请求我的心作为答赠已经太晚了。
There was a time when my life was like a bud， all its perfume was stored in its core.
曾有一个时候，我的生命像一朵蓓蕾，它所有的芬芳都储藏在花心里。
Now it is squandered far and wide.
现在它已远远地喷溢四散。

谁晓得什么魅力，可以把它们收集关闭起来呢？
My heart is not mine to give to one only， it is given to the many.
我的心不容我只给一个人，它是要给与许多人的。

For the spring days come again time after time； the full moon takes leave and comes on another visit， the flower come again and blush upon their branches year after year， and it is likely that I take my leave only to come to you again.
因为春天年年回来；满月道过别又来访问，花儿每年回来在枝上红晕着脸，很可能我向你告别只为的要再回到你的身边。
But keep the illusion awhile； do not send it away with ungentle haste.
但是把这幻象保留一会吧，不要冷酷粗率地把它赶走。
When I say I leave you for all time， accept it as true， and let a mist of tears for one moment deepen the dark rim of your eyes.
当我说我要永远离开你的时候，就当作真话来接受它，让泪雾暂时加深你眼边的黑影。
Then smile as archly as you like when I come again.
当我再来的时候，随便你怎样地狡笑吧。
41

I shall never be an ascetic.
我将永不会做一个苦行者。

Reverend sir， forgive this pair of sinners.

Spring winds to-day are blowing in wild eddies， driving dust and dead leaves away， and with them your lessons are all lost.
今天春风猖狂地吹起旋舞，把尘土和枯叶都扫走了，你的功课也随着一起丢掉了。
Do not say， father， that life is a vanity.
师父，不要说生命是虚空的。
For me have made truce with death for once， and only for a few fragrant hours we two have been made immortal.
因为我们和死亡订下一次和约，在一段温馨的时间中，我俩变成不朽。
Even if the king's army came and fiercely fell upon us we should sadly shake our heads and say， Brothers， you are disturbing us. If you must have this noisy game， go and clatter your arms elsewhere.
即使是国王的军队凶猛地前来追捕，我们将忧愁地摇头说，弟兄们，你们扰乱了我们了。如果你们必须做这个吵闹的游戏，到别处去敲击你们的武器吧。
Since only for a few fleeting moments we have been made immortal.
因为我们刚在这片刻飞逝的时光中变成不朽。
If friendly people came and flocked around us， we should humbly bow to them and say， This extravagant good fortune is an embarrassment to us. Room is scare in the infinite sky where we dwell. For in the springtime flowers come in crowds， and the busy wings of bees jostle each other. Our little heaven， where dwell only we two immortals， is too absurdly narrow.
如果亲切的人们来把我们围起，我们将恭敬地向他们鞠躬说，这个荣幸使我们惭愧。在我们居住的无限天空之中，没有多少隙地。因为在春天繁花盛开，蜜蜂的忙碌的翅翼也彼此摩挤。只住着我们两个仙人的小天堂，是狭小得太可笑了。

把自己的忧伤抱紧，决不受人安慰，是英勇的。
But a fresh face peeps across my door and raises its eyes to my eyes.
但是一个新的面庞，在我门外偷窥，抬起眼来看我的眼睛。
I cannot but wipe away my tears and change the tune of my song.
我只能试去眼泪，更改我歌曲的腔调。
For time is short.

Free me from your spells， and give me back the manhood to offer you my freed heart.
把我从你的诱惑中放出来吧，把男子气概交还我，好让我把得到自由的心贡献给你。
49
I hold her hands and press her to my breast.
我握住她的手把她抱紧在胸前。
I try to fill my arms with her loveliness， to plunder her sweet smile with kisses， to drink her dark glances with my eyes.
我想以她的爱娇来填满我的怀抱，用亲吻来偷劫她的甜笑，用我的眼睛来吸饮她的深黑的一瞥。
Ah， but， where is it？ Who can strain the blue from the sky？
呵，但是，它在哪里呢？谁能从天空滤出蔚蓝呢？
I try to grasp the beauty， it eludes me， leaving only the body in my hands.
我想去把握美；它躲开我，只有躯体留在我的手里。
