Somewhere or Other BY CHRISTINA ROSSETTI

Somewhere or Other 

 

BY CHRISTINA ROSSETTI

 

Somewhere or other there must surely be 

The face not seen, the voice not heard, 

The heart that not yet—never yet—ah me! 

Made answer to my word. 

 

Somewhere or other, may be near or far; 

Past land and sea, clean out of sight; 

Beyond the wandering moon, beyond the star 

That tracks her night by night. 

 

Somewhere or other, may be far or near; 

With just a wall, a hedge, between; 

With just the last leaves of the dying year 

Fallen on a turf grown green. 

 

这里或那里

 

这里或那里总会有

没被听到的声音， 没被看到的脸，

触动我的那颗心哦！ 未曾－也从未－ 

回应我的感言。

 

这里或那里， 近还是远；

越过陆地和海洋， 越过视野；

远过游荡的月， 远过那颗星

追寻着她一夜又一夜。 

 

这里或那里， 远还是近；

只隔着， 一堵墙， 一树篱；

随着年尾的残叶

落在绿透了的草地。
