A Dream Within A Dream

by Edgar Allan Poe

请跟英语兔我一起读:

Take this kiss upon the brow!

不能再吻你的额头,

And, in parting from you now,

到了再见的时候,

Thus much let me avow—

我不得不说－

You are not wrong, who deem

你是对的, 我的生活

That my days have been a dream;

不过是一场梦.

Yet if hope has flown away

但是, 如果希望已经飞走

In a night, or in a day,

无论在夜里, 或在白天,

In a vision, or in none,

无论在幻想, 或在虚无中,

Is it therefore the less gone?

那么它是否会因此留下一些呢?

All that we see or seem

我们所看到, 所感受的一切

Is but a dream within a dream.

不过是一场梦中的梦.

I stand amid the roar

我站在

Of a surf-tormented shore,

怒涛彭湃的海岸边,

And I hold within my hand

我的手中

Grains of the golden sand—

攥着金黄的沙粒－

How few! yet how they creep

留不住啊! 它们快速地

Through my fingers to the deep,

穿过我的手指而去,

While I weep--while I weep!

我哭了－我哭了!

O God! can I not grasp

哦, 上帝! 为什么我不能

Them with a tighter clasp?

牢牢地抓住它们?

O God! can I not save

哦, 上帝! 为什么我不能

One from the pitiless wave?

从这无情的波涛中救出一个?

Is all that we see or seem

难道我们所看到, 所感受的一切

But a dream within a dream?

不过是一场梦中的梦?
