蝴蝶
“过来吧，麻雀们，
小箭纷纷。
若眼泪或微笑
会将人骗倒，
如果多情的云翳
会将晴天延迟，
如果迈出一步
将心连根拔出，
婚戒照眼亮——
让仙女成国王。”
所以仙女讴。
我从叶中出；
他从浪里跳
便逃跑了;
我帽被抓到，
他会被照料。
让他笑和嗟，
他是我的蝶；
因我已经拔之
婚戒的毒刺。
The butterfly
"Come hither, my sparrows,
My little arrows.
If a tear or a smile
Will a man beguile,
If an amorous delay
Clouds a sunshiny day,
If the step of a foot
Smites the heart to its root,
'Tis the marriage-ring -
Makes each fairy a king."
So a Fairy sung.
From the leaves I sprung;
He leap'd from the spray
To flee away;
But in my hat caught,
He soon shall be taught.
Let him laugh, let him cry,
He's my Butterfly;
For I've pull'd out the sting
Of the marriage-ring.
by William Blake (1757 - 1827), written 1793, appears in Notebook?
