As an unperfect actor on the stage,
Who with his fear is put besides his part,()
Or some fierce thing replete with too much rage,
Whose strengths abundance weakens his own heart;
So l , for fear of trust , forget to say
The perfect ceremony of love's rite,
And in mine own love's strength seem to decay,
O'ercharg'd with burthen of mine own love's might.
O let my books be then the eloquence
And dumb presagers of my speaking breast,
who plead for love, and look for recompense,
More than that tongue that more hasth more express'd.
O learn to read what silent love hath writ.
To hear with eyes belongs to love's fine writ.
——《The Sonnets 23》
日之将蚀
I hear your voice...
Although there's a distance between...
I am there by your side...
You are there by my side...
The sun setting and stars twinkling...
Ah...
If only you are here by my side...[3]

Ich denke dein, wenn mir der Sonne Schimmer
Vom Meere strahlt;
Ich denke dein, wenn sich des Mondes Flimmer
In Quellen malt.
Ich sehe dich, wenn auf dem fernen Wege
Der Staub sich hebt;
In tiefer Nacht, wenn auf dem schmalen Stege
Der Wandrer bebt.
Ich hoere dich, wenn dort mit dumpfem Rauschen
Die Welle steigt.
Im stillen Haine geh' ich oft zu lauschen,
Wenn alles schweigt.
Ich bin bei dir; du seist auch noch so ferne,
Du bist mir nah!
Die Sonne sinkt, bald leuchten mir die Sterne.
O, waerst du da! 英语
When the sun lighten the earth...
I think about you...
When the moon's shadow slowly rises...
I think about you...
When the dust laid on the distance road...
I can see you there...
The figure of an old man I saw late at night...
I was able to find your shadow
When the waves harshly stomping...
I hear your voice...
Although there's a distance between...
I am there by your side...
You are there by my side...
The sun setting and stars twinkling...
Ah... If only you are here by my side... 中文
当阳光照在海上的时候,
我就开始回想着你。
当月亮照耀湖面的时候,
我就开始回想着你。
当路上扬起灰尘的时候,
我就会看到你的身影。
夜晚在小巷中,
偶然遇到了一个陌生人,
我就好像看到你的身影。
当大波浪掀起的时候,
我就会听到你的声音。
当大家熟睡时安静的森林里,
我也会听到你的声音。
就算没有在一起,
我依然在你身边,
而你依然在我身边。
太阳下山星星开始闪亮,
啊!如果你在我身边的话。
