Meeting at Night

I

The grey sea and the long black land;

And the yellow half-moon large and low;

And the startled little waves that leap

In fiery ringlets from their sleep,

As I gain the cove with pushing prow,

And quench its speed i' the slushy sand.

II

Then a mile of warm sea-scented beach;

Three fields to cross till a farm appears;

A tap at the pane, the quick sharp scratch

And blue spurt of a lighted match,

And a voice less loud, thro' its joys and fears,

Than the two hearts beating each to each!

                          Robert Browning (1812-1889)

樱娘译文：

    夜会

     1

大海阴沉陆黑长，

硕月低悬半轮黄；

惊心碎浪起微波，

欢跃激流自梦乡。

我随疾舟抵海湾，

泥滩阻滞船靠港。

      2

一哩温馨遍海滨，

三畦田垄到农庄。

小叩窗扉疾声起，

燃亮火柴迸蓝光。

喜忧之间窃窃语，

哪比两心之碰撞！ 

晚枫君译文：

夜会

I

海水蒙蒙长岸黑；

玉盘硕月半轮垂；

梦惊碎浪微波起，

翻涌欢腾荡涟漪，

轻舟急急入港湾，

泥沙拦船船靠岸。

II

一哩长滩香风暖；

三垄田外庄户现；

轻叩窗扉惹声响，

蓝光一闪火柴亮，

喜惶之中私语声，

怎及两仪心相碰！
