丁尼生经典英语爱情诗歌：The Miller’s Daughter 磨坊主的女儿(双语)

阿尔弗雷德·丁尼生是英国维多利亚时代最受欢迎及最具特色的诗人。他的诗歌准确地反映了他那个时代占主导地位的看法及兴趣，这是任何时代的英国诗人都无法比拟的。代表作品为组诗《悼念》。此篇对女子的描写是我此生见过的所有诗篇中最完美的，尤其中间将自己比喻成他物，而能陪伴她左右，堪称史上绝唱。丁尼生的诗歌总是有这样一种好似诉苦却又找不到苦味的味道，很难说得清。

i’d clasp it round so close and tight.

就让我如此轻地躺下
i scarce should be unclasp’d at night
