Love Without Hope (1925)
Robert Graves 1895-1985
Love without hope, as when the young bird-catcher
Swept off his tall hat to the Squire’s own daughter,
So let the imprisoned larks escape and fly
Singing about her head, as she rode by.
无望的爱情

无望的爱情,折磨着捕鸟少年的心
当他脱下礼帽,向马上的人儿致敬
那是乡绅的爱女,款款地骑行而过
他放飞笼中的云雀,旋歌于她头顶
