When I Am Dead, My Dearest

Christina Georgina Rossetti

When I am dead, my dearst,

Sing no sad songs for me;

Plant thou no roses at my head,

Nor shady cypss tree:

Be the green grass above me

With showers and dwedrops wet:

And if thou wilt, remember,

And if thou wilt, forget.

I shall not see the shadows,

I shall not feel the rain;

I shall not hear the nightingale

Sing on as if in pain:

And deraming through the twilight

That doth not rise nor set,

Haply I may remember,

And haply may forget.

当我离开人间，最亲爱的

克里斯蒂娜.罗塞蒂

当我离开人间，最亲爱的，

别为我哀歌悲切;

我的墓前不要栽玫瑰，

也不要柏树茂密;

愿绿茵覆盖我的'身躯，

沾着湿润的灵珠雨水;

假如你愿意，就把我怀念，

假如你愿意，就把我忘却。

我不会重见那荫影，

不会感觉雨天来临;

我不会听见夜莺

一声声仿佛哀鸣;

我置身梦境，在朦胧的黎明，

它从不升起，也永不沉沦;

也许我会怀念，

也许我会忘却。

Daily Creed

By John Grey

Let me be a little kinder,

Let me be a little blinder

To the faults of those about me,

Let me praise a little more.

Let me be, when I am weary,

Just a little bit more cheery;

Let me be a little meeker

With the brother who is weaker;

Let me strive a little harder

To be all that I should be.

Let me be more understanding

And a little less demanding,

Let me be the sort of friend

That you have always been to me.

让我更友善一点吧，

对待过错更宽容一点吧，

对他人他物更赞赏一点吧。

让我倦时更快乐一点吧，

对虚弱的兄弟更温顺一点吧，

对该做之事更努力一点吧。

让我更多一份理解吧，

对人对事少一点苛求吧，

对待朋友更真诚以待吧。
