She Walks in Beauty

Lord Byron

1

 She walks in Beauty, like the night

Of cloudless climes and starry skies;

And all that’s best of dark and bright

Meet in her aspect and her eyes:

Thus mellow’d to that tender light

Which Heaven to gaudy day denies.

                                                         2

 One shade the more, one ray the less,

Had half impair’d the nameless grace

Which waves in every raven tress,

Or softly lightens o’er her face;

Where thoughts serenely sweet express

How pure, how dear their dwelling-place.

3

 And on that cheek, and o’er that brow,

So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,

The smiles that win, the tints that glow,

But tell of days in goodness spent,

A mind at peace with all below,

A heart whose love is innocent! 

她走在美的光彩中

拜伦

                                     一

       她走在美的光彩中，像夜晚

皎洁无云而且繁星漫天；

明与暗的最美妙的色泽

在她的仪容和秋波里呈现：

耀目的白天只嫌光太强，

它比那光亮柔和而幽暗。

二

 增加或减少一份明与暗

就会损害这难言的美。

美波动在她乌黑的发上，

或者散布淡淡的光辉

在那脸庞，恬静的思绪

指明它的来处纯洁而珍贵。

三

 呵，那额际，那鲜艳的面颊，

如此温和，平静，而又脉脉含情，

那迷人的微笑，那容颜的光彩，

都在说明一个善良的生命：

她的头脑安于世间的一切，

她的心充溢着真纯的爱情！（查良铮 译）
