I Am - John Clare-Jan Francis

I am: yet what I am none cares or knows, My friends forsake me like a memory lost; I am the self-consumer of my woes, They rise and vanish in oblivious host, Like shades in love and death's oblivion lost; And yet I am! and live with shadows tost

Into the nothingness of scorn and noise, Into the living sea of waking dreams, Where there is neither sense of life nor joys, But the vast shipwreck of my life's esteems; And e'en the dearest--that I loved the best-- Are strange--nay, rather stranger than the rest.

I long for scenes where man has never trod; A place where woman never smil'd or wept; There to abide with my creator, God, And sleep as I in childhood sweetly slept: Untroubling and untroubled where I lie; The grass below--above the vaulted sky.

我是：然而，我是谁也不在乎或不知道的，我的朋友抛弃了我，就像失去了记忆；我是我痛苦的自我消费者，他们在遗忘的主人中起起落落，就像在爱中的阴影和在死亡中的遗忘一样；然而，我是！生活在阴影中

我渴望那些男人从未踏过的场景；一个女人从未微笑或哭泣的地方；在那里与我的造物主上帝共处，像我儿时甜美的睡眠一样安睡：我躺着的地方无障碍，无障碍；下面的草——在拱形的天空之上。

Into the nothingness of scorn and noise, Into the living sea of waking dreams, Where there is neither sense of life nor joys, But the vast shipwreck of my life's esteems; And e'en the dearest--that I loved the best-- Are strange--nay, rather stranger than the rest.

在虚无的轻蔑和喧嚣中，在活的梦幻之海中，那里既没有生命的感觉，也没有欢乐，而是我生命中最珍贵的东西的巨大沉船；在最亲爱的——我最爱的——中，是奇怪的——不，比其他的更陌生。

I long for scenes where man has never trod; A place where woman never smil'd or wept; There to abide with my creator, God, And sleep as I in childhood sweetly slept: Untroubling and untroubled where I lie; The grass below--above the vaulted sky.

I am: yet what I am none cares or knows, My friends forsake me like a memory lost; I am the self-consumer of my woes, They rise and vanish in oblivious host, Like shades in love and death's oblivion lost; And yet I am! and live with shadows tost
