A Dream Within A
Dream
by Edgar Allan Poe
Translated by Kongyin Take this kiss upon the brow!
And, in parting from you now,
Thus much let me avow--
You are not wrong, who deem
That my
days have been a dream;
Yet if hope has flown away
In a night, or in a
day,
In a vision, or in none,
Is it therefore the less gone?
All that
we see or seem
Is but a dream within a dream.
I stand amid the
roar
Of a surf-tormented shore,
And I hold within my hand
Grains of the
golden sand--
How few! yet how they creep
Through my fingers to the
deep,
While I weep--while I weep!
O God! can I not grasp
Them with a
tighter clasp?
O God! can I not save
One from the pitiless wave?
Is all
that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream?

梦中梦 （爱伦·坡）空因译 带上我印在你眉间的吻！ 在跟你道别之时， 我不得不坦然承认 –– 你没错，我的岁月乃一场梦； 如果希望已随风而去 在晚上，或白天 在视野中，或在无视中， 难道就会失去得更少？ 那被我们所见或所感的一切 不过是一个梦中梦。
我站在汹涌咆哮的海涛边， 手中紧握金色的沙粒 –– 多么寥寥的几颗！然而它们依然 滑离指缝落进深洋中 在我流泪——在我流泪之时！ 啊，上苍！难道我不能 更紧一点攥住它们？ 啊，上苍！难道我不能 赦免沙粒一颗，从那无情的波涛中？ 难道那被我们所见或所感的一切 不过是一个梦中梦？ |
