宿梦未酬日 Success is Counted Sweetest 

112  Emily Dickinson 1859

翻译 汤安

宿梦未酬日         Success is counted sweetest 
诚望功业圆         By those who ne’er succeed. 
千般渴竭苦         To comprehend a nectar 
万会甘露妍        Requires sorest need.

紫冠临加冕        Not one of all the purple host 
白旗横踵前        Who took the flag today 
捷声何所意        Can tell the definition, 
杳有尽思贤        So clear, of victory.

败将残延息        As he, defeated, dying, 
喧嚣聩中萦        On whose forbidden ear 
战歌终去远        The distant strains of triumph 
悲楚始清明        Break, agonized and clear.
