crow
Edgar Allan Poe
Translated by Cao Minglun
Once upon a time, one dreary midnight, when I was meditating, I was weak. ?
Once upon a time, on a gloomy midnight, I meditated alone, feeling lazy and tired.
Many quintets and curious forgotten knowledge.
Meditate on many strange rumors that have long been forgotten-
Just as I nodded and almost fell asleep, suddenly there was a knock.
When I began to doze off and almost fell asleep, there was a sudden knock.
It seems that someone is knocking at my door.
It seems that someone is tapping lightly, tapping lightly on my door.
"Someone is coming," I muttered, "knocking at my door-
"Someone is coming," I muttered softly, "knocking at my door-
That's all. "
That's all, nothing else. "
Ah, I clearly remember it was in a cold December.
Oh, I clearly remember it was in the bleak December;
Each individual dying ash creates its ghost on the floor.
Every dying ash forms a shadow on the floor.
I eagerly hope tomorrow; -I tried to borrow money in vain.
I am really looking forward to the next day; -Because I've been trying in vain.
From my book, stop mourning-mourning for the lost Lenore-
Want to use books to eliminate sadness-to eliminate the lament of losing Lenore-
A rare and radiant girl that angels call Lenore-
Because the angel girl Lenore is beautiful and charming-
There will never be a name here.
I will never be known here.
And the sad and uncertain rustle of silk on every purple curtain.
Every purple curtain cloth is soft, dim and rustling.
Let me excited-let me full of unprecedented terror;
Let my heart be filled with unprecedented terror-my hair is shocked;
So now, in order to make my heart stop beating, I stand and repeat.
In order to calm my heart, I stood up and said repeatedly.
"This is some visitors begging to enter my door-
"This man wants to come in and knock on my door.
Some late visitors begged to enter in front of my door; -
Late at night, someone wants to enter the house and is knocking at my door; ——
That's all.
That's all, nothing else. "
