So, We'll Go No More A-Roving -- Lord Byron

So, We’ll Go No More A-Roving 

By George Gordon, Lord Byron (1788-1824)

So, we'll go nor more a-roving                   我們不再徘徊
So late into the night,                                 步入如許深夜，
Though the heart be still as loving,            儘管心仍有愛，
And the moon be still as bright.                  皎皎仍有明月。

For the sword outwears its sheath,            因劍磨穿其鞘，
And the soul wears out the breast,             靈魂穿磨胸臆，
And the heart must pause to breathe,        心須停才可跳，
And Love itself have rest.                           愛自身得歇息。

Though the night was made for loving,       夜雖助長情愛，
And the day returns too soon,                    白晝返轉匆忙，
Yet we'll go no more a-roving                     我們不再徘徊
By the light of the moon.                             伴隨月之熒光。
