Silentium Amoris
by Oscar Wilde

As often-times the too resplendent sun
Hurries the pallid and reluctant moon
Back to her sombre cave, ere she hath won
A single ballad from the nightingale,
So doth thy Beauty make my lips to fail,
And all my sweetest singing out of tune.

And as at dawn across the level mead
On wings impetuous some wind will come,
And with its too harsh kisses break the reed
Which was its only instrument of song,
So my too stormy passions work me wrong,
And for excess of Love my Love is dumb.

But surely unto Thee mine eyes did show
Why I am silent, and my lute unstrung;
Else it were better we should part, and go,
Thou to some lips of sweeter melody,
And I to nurse the barren memory
Of unkissed kisses, and songs never sung.

沉默的爱人－奥斯卡^.王尔德

一如那过于辉煌的太阳总是
催促苍白而不情愿的月亮
返回她阴郁的洞穴——在她
赢得夜莺的一首歌谣之前，
而你的美丽也使我的唇无言，
使所有我最甜美的歌唱变调。

一如黎明时分，风张着冲动的翅膀
越过平坦的草地，
它过于猛烈的亲吻折断了芦苇——
它所仅有的歌唱乐器，
而我那过于激烈的热情也使我犯错，
我狂热的爱恋使我的爱人沉寂无声。
 
然而我的眼睛的的确确已向你表明
何以我沉默，何以我的鲁特琴断弦，
或许我们分开是比较好的，去吧，
你去寻找那歌唱着更为甜美旋律的唇，
我则以那些未亲吻的吻，和未唱的歌，
来滋养这贫瘠的回忆。
