初恋

我从未动心在此之前

爱情的闪电如此甜蜜

她的脸秀似月花初绽

彻底偷走了我的心田

我的脸变得致命苍白

我的腿怎么也迈不开

她出现了我为何不舒

我生命一切似化泥土

从此我脸上热血奔涌

眼前的视线相距朦胧

灌木和丛林交错纵横

似黑白颠倒错乱时钟

我没有一物能够看清

而眼神的话真的启动

眉飞色舞似琴弦传情

烈血融融燃遍在心胸

花呀你难道选择冬天

爱的床呀你总爱雪天

她似闻我沉默的声音

爱无需请求就已知心

我从未见过如花似玉

她此刻在我面前伫立

我的心已离幽居而去

从此再不能重返故居

First Love

By John Clare

I ne'er was struck before that hour
With love so sudden and so sweet,
Her face it bloomed like a sweet flower
And stole my heart away complete.
My face turned pale as deadly pale.
My legs refused to walk away,
And when she looked, what could I ail?
My life and all seemed turned to clay.

And then my blood rushed to my face
And took my eyesight quite away,
The trees and bushes round the place
Seemed midnight at noonday.
I could not see a single thing,
Words from my eyes did start --
They spoke as chords do from the string,
And blood burnt round my heart.

Are flowers the winter's choice?
Is love's bed always snow?
She seemed to hear my silent voice,
Not love's appeals to know.
I never saw so sweet a face
As that I stood before.
My heart has left its dwelling-place
And can return no more

John Clare
