Meeting at Night

by Robert Browning

请跟英语兔我一起读:

The gray sea and the long black land;

灰色的海，黑色的长岸：

And the yellow half-moon large and low;

半轮黄月大而低挂；

And the startled little waves that leap

细碎的波浪从睡梦里惊觉，

In fiery ringlets from their sleep,

溅出一道道火红的发鬈，

As I gain the cove with pushing prow,

当急行的船头渐止于松软的泥沙

And quench its speed i' the slushy sand.

我终于抵达了这个港湾。

Then a mile of warm sea-scented beach;

接着是一哩海风温柔的沙滩；

Three fields to cross till a farm appears;

再穿过三块田地，前面就是农庄；

A tap at the pane, the quick sharp scratch

轻叩小窗，急促的刮擦，

And blue spurt of a lighted match,

擦亮的火柴开一朵蓝花，

And a voice less loud, thro' its joys and fears,

两颗心对跳时的响亮，

Than the two hearts beating each to each!

盖过了一声强抑惊喜的叫喊。
