So We’11 Go No More A-Roving

——George Gordon Byron

So we’II go no more a-roving，

So late into the night，

Though the heart be still as loving，

And the moon be still as bright．

For the sword outwears its sheath，

And the SOUl wears out the breast，

And the heart must pause to breathe，

And Love itself have rest．

Though the night was made for loving，

And the day returns too soon，

Yet we'll go no more a-roving

By the light of the moon．

译文如下：

好吧，我们不再一起漫游，

消磨这幽深的夜晚，

尽管这颗心仍旧爱着，

尽管月光还那么灿烂。

因为利剑能够磨破剑鞘，

灵魂也把胸膛磨得难以承受，

这颗心啊，它得停下来呼吸，

爱情也得有歇息的时候。

虽然这夜晚正好倾述衷肠，

很快的，很快就要天亮，

但我们已不再一起漫游，

踏着这灿烂的月光。
