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.
忘掉它
萨拉·梯斯代尔
忘掉它，就像忘掉鲜艳的花朵；
忘掉它，就像忘掉呼呼燃烧的金色烈火；
永远永远忘掉，
善良的时间朋友会替我们操作。
假如有人问起，就说已经忘却，
很久很久，隐隐绰绰；
在一场早已淡忘的大雪之中，
像花朵，像烈火，像脚步悄然走过。
