双语诗歌赏析——忘掉它(1)

　　Let It Be Forgotten?

　　Sara Teasdale

　　Let it be forgotten, as a flower is forgotten,

　　Forgotten as a fire that once was singing gold.

　　Let it be forgotten forever and ever,

　　Time is a kind friend, he will make us old.

　　If anyone asks, say it was forgotten

　　Long and long ago,

　　As a flower, as a fire, as a hushed footfall

　　In a long-forgotten snow.
