I Look into My Glass

I Look into My Glass

         by Thomas Hardy

I Look into my glass,
And view my wasting skin,
And say, "Would God it came to pass
My heart had shrunk as thin!"

For then, I, undistrest
By hearts grown cold to me,
Could lonely wait my endless rest
With equanimity.

But Time, to make me grieve,
Part steals, lets part abide;
And shakes this fragile frame at eve
With throbbings of noontide.

对镜

 托马斯•哈代

当我照我的镜，
见我形容憔悴，
我说：“但愿上天让我的心
也象这样凋萎！”

那时，人心对我变冷，
我再也不忧戚，
我将能孤独而平静，
等待永久的安息。

可叹时间偷走一半，
却让一半留存，
被时间摇撼的黄昏之躯中
搏动着正午的心。
