哥布林市场:1 #

克里斯蒂娜·罗塞蒂

morning and evening
maids heard the goblins cry:
“come buy our orchard fruits,
come buy, come buy:
apples and quinces(木梨)
lemons(柠檬) and oranges(橙),
plump unpeck’d cherries,
melons(甜瓜) and raspberries(树莓),
bloom-down-cheek’d peaches(桃),
swart-headed mulberries(桑椹),
wild free-born cranberries(蔓越莓),
crab(山楂)-apples, dewberries(木莓),
pine(菠萝)-apples, blackberries(黑莓),
apricots(杏仁), strawberries(草莓);
all ripe together
in summer weather,—
morns that pass by,
fair eves that fly;
come buy, come buy:
our grapes(葡萄) fresh from the vine,
pomegranates(石榴) full and fine,
dates(椰枣) and sharp bullaces(野李),
rare pears(梨) and greengages(青梅),
damsons(洋李) and bilberries(越橘),
taste them and try:
currants(醋栗) and gooseberries(鹅莓),
bright-fire-like barberries(伏牛子),
figs(无花果) to fill your mouth,
citrons(香橼) from the south,
sweet to tongue and sound to eye;
come buy, come buy.”
