I plucked a honeysuckle where
The hedge on high is quick with thorn,
And climbing for the prize,
was torn,
And fouled my feet in quag-water;
And by the thorns and by the wind
The blossom that I took was
thinn'd,
And yet I found it sweet and fair.
Thence to a richer growth I came,
Where, nursed in mellow intercourse,
The honey suckles sprang by scores,
Not harried like my single stem,
All virgin lamps of scent and dew,
So from my hand that first I threw,
Yet plucked not any more of them.
Note: The name honeysuckle comes from the sweet nectar that the flower produces to intoxicate the greedy bee. Its powerful fragrance seduces the human senses as it pervades the air. The perfume of this passionate plant may turn a maiden's head, hence wild honeysuckle is a symbol of inconstancy in love.
忍冬
在长满棘刺的高篱上,
我采摘到一支忍冬花,
为了这个奖赏,
我努力攀爬,
划破了我的衣衫,
在泥泞的水中弄脏了
我的双脚,
花朵在荆棘和风中飞落,
我采的花变得稀疏,
然而
花朵如此芬芳美丽,
在甘美气息的滋养中
