You are as gold

你是金色的，

as the half-ripe grain

像正要成熟的谷子

that merges to gold again,

重新变得金黄。

as white as the white rain

白色的雨敲打在

that beats through

伊里尔的苹果树

the half-opened flowers

黝黑的枝干

of the great flower tufts

那巨大的花团中

thick on the black limbs

半绽的花蕾上。

of an Illyrian apple bough.

你像这雨一样白。

Can honey distill such fragrance

蜜能沁出那样的芬芳

as your bright hair—

像你闪光的头发？

for your face is as fair as rain,

你的脸像雨一样美，

yet as rain that lies clear

像白色蜂巢上的

on white honey-comb,

晶莹的雨珠

lends radiance to the white wax,

给白蜡映上奇彩，

so your hair on your brow

你的头发披在眉际，

casts light for a shadow.

照亮了一个阴影。
