Up-Hill
by C. G. Rossetti
Does the road wind up-hill all the way?
Yes, to the very end.
Will the day’s journey take the whole long day?
From morn to night, my friend.
But is there for the night a resting-place?
A roof for when the slow dark hours begin.
May not the darkness hide it from my face?
You can not miss that inn.
Shall I meet other wayfarers at night?
Those who have gone before.
Then must I knock, or call when just in sight?
They will not keep you standing at that door.
Shall I find comfort, travel-sore and weak?
Of labour you shall find the sum.
Will there be beds for me and all who seek?
Yes, beds for all who come.
上 坡
【英】克·吉·罗塞蒂
上坡路是否老是要拐弯?
是的,要一直弯到底。
日程是否要花费一整天?
从早到晚,我的老弟。
可是有没有过夜投宿处?
夜幕降临时屋檐底下。
黑暗有可能把视线挡住?
那客栈你不会错过啦。
我会不会遇见别的客人?
从前是有人去去来来。
我到时是敲门还是叫门?
不会让你久候在门外。
我会感到舒适或是酸痛?
你会感到这些的总和。
有足够的床位我们分享?
是的,来人都有床窝。
