I plucked a honeysuckle where
The hedge on high is quick with thorn,
And climbing for the prize,
was torn,
And fouled 1 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 2 intercourse 3,
The honey suckles sprang by scores,
Not harried 4 like my single stem,
All virgin 5 lamps of scent 6 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 7 the greedy bee. Its powerful fragrance 8 seduces 9 the human senses as it pervades 10 the air. The perfume of this passionate 11 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
我也变得更加娇艳，
忍冬一簇簇地盛开，
没有象我手中的那束
被摧残而凋零，
从我的手中，
所有无暇芬芳的光芒，
渐渐消逝，
从此我再不采撷忍冬花。
注释：忍冬用产生的甘露迷醉贪婪的蜜蜂，由此而得名（忍冬英文一词是由“蜂蜜”和“吮吸”两组成）。当它强烈的芬芳在空气中弥漫时，也陶醉了人的感官。充满激情的忍冬所散发的香气令少女却步回首，因此野生忍冬象征着爱情的反复无常。
