济慈诗歌和书信选(英文版)28 Why Did I Laugh Tonight? No Voice Will Tell:（打印版）

　　Why Did I Laugh Tonight? No Voice Will Tell:

　　Why did I laugh tonight? No voice will tell:

　　No God, no Demon of severe response,

　　Deigns to reply from Heaven or from Hell.

　　Then to my human heart I turn at once.

　　Heart! Thou and I are here, sad and alone;

　　I say, why did I laugh? O mortal pain!

　　O Darkness! Darkness! ever must I moan,

　　To question Heaven and Hell and Heart in vain.

　　Why did I laugh? I know this Being's lease,

　　My fancy to its utmost blisses spreads;

　　Yet would I on this very midnight cease,

　　And the world's gaudy ensigns see in shreds;

　　Verse, Fame, and Beauty are intense indeed,

　　But Death intenser -Death is Life's high meed.
