Mad Girl's Love Song

Sylvia Plath

"I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead;

I lift my lids and all is born again.

(I think I made you up inside my head.)

The stars go waltzing out in blue and red,

And arbitrary blackness gallops in:

I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.

I dreamed that you bewitched me into bed

And sung me moon-struck, kissed me quite insane.

(I think I made you up inside my head.)

God topples from the sky, hell's fires fade:

Exit seraphim and Satan's men:

I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.

I fancied you'd return the way you said,

But I grow old and I forget your name.

(I think I made you up inside my head.)

I should have loved a thunderbird instead;

At least when spring comes they roar back again.

I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.

 (I think I made you up inside my head.)"

疯姑娘的情歌

西尔维娅.普拉丝

“我闭上眼，世界倒地而亡；

我一睁眼，一切便又重生。

（也许，你是我脑中的幻象。）

星星旋转起舞，红光蓝光，

黑暗风驰电掣，东闯西进：

我闭上眼，世界倒地而亡。

梦里，你施魔法诱我上床，

为我轻唱，吻我如痴如疯。

（也许，你是我脑中的幻象。）

上帝坠落，地狱之火消亡：

天使与恶魔也统统退隐：

我闭上眼，世界倒地而亡。

想你会如约回到我身旁。

但我已老去，忘了你姓名。

（也许，你是我脑中的幻象。）

不如爱只雷鸟，不管怎样

春天总还会带回它的叫声。

我闭上眼，世界倒地而亡。

（也许，你是我脑中的幻象。）
