Let It Be Forgotten
忘掉它
By Sarah Teasdale
余光中 译

Let it be forgotten，as a flower is forgotten，
忘掉它，就像忘掉一朵花，
Forgotten as a fire that once was singing gold.
就像忘掉炼过黄金的火焰，
Let it be forgotten forever and ever,
忘掉它，永远永远。
Time is a kind friend，he will make us old.
时间是良友，它会使我们变成老年。
If anyone asks，say it was forgotten
如果有人问起，就说已经忘记，
Long and long go,
在很早，很早的往昔
As a flower，as a fire，as a hushed footfall
像花，像火，像静静的足音
In a long-forgotten snow.
在早被遗忘的雪里。
