济慈诗歌和书信选(英文版)59 When I Have Fears That I May Cease to Be

 　　When I Have Fears That I May Cease to Be

　　WHEN I have fears that I may cease to be

　　Before my pen has glean'd my teeming¹ brain,

　　Before high pil`d books, in charact'ry,

　　Hold like rich garners² the full-ripen'd grain;

　　When I behold³, upon the night's starr'd face,

　　Huge cloudy symbols of a high romance,

　　And feel that I may never live to trace

　　Their shadows, with the magic hand of chance;

　　And when I feel, fair creature of an hour!

　　That I shall never look upon thee more,

　　Never have relish⁴ in the faery power

　　Of unreflecting love;—then on the shore

　　Of the wide world I stand alone, and think,

　　Till Love and Fame to nothingness do sink.
