啊，爱，爱，爱!啊，枯萎的力量!啊，太阳，你在正午的高处战栗，我一睁眼，你的热和光就悸动着，看哪，从我永恒的心中坠落，看哪，干枯了，又聋又瞎，我像狂风中的树叶一样旋转。昨夜我在城东城楼下虚度了可恨的时光:我渴望小溪和甘霖;我在娇嫩的花丛中打滚;我把它们压在胸前，压在嘴上;我望着南方那片长沙漠的灼热的干旱。昨夜，当有人说出他的名字时，从我奔流不息的血液中，有一千个小火苗在我狭窄的身躯里颤抖。哦，爱，哦，火!有一次，他用一个长长的吻把我的整个灵魂吸出我的双唇，就像阳光吸下露水。在他登上山头之前，我知道他很快就来了:从下面，甜蜜的大风，像从花园深处吹来一样，在他面前吹来，拍打着我的额头。在我干枯的头脑里，我的精神很快就沉下去了，从昏厥到昏厥，昏厥得像昏黄的晨月。 The wind sounds like a silver wire, And from beyond the noon a fire Is pour'd upon the hills, and nigher The skies stoop down in their desire; And, isled in sudden seas of light, My heart, pierced thro' with fierce delight, Bursts into blossom in his sight. My whole soul waiting silently, All naked in a sultry sky, Droops blinded with his shining eye: I will possess him or will die. I will grow round him in his place, Grow, live, die looking on his face, Die, dying clasp'd in his embrace.
