RUE BARRÉE

"Along the shore the cloud waves break,
「沿岸云浪拍碎，
The twin suns sink behind the lake,
双日沉落湖后，
The shadows lengthen
阴影渐长
In Carcosa.
在卡尔科萨。
Strange is the night where black stars rise,
黑星升起之夜何其奇异，
And strange moons circle through the skies
奇异的月亮环绕天际，
But stranger still is
然而更奇异的是
Lost Carcosa.
失落的卡尔科萨。
Songs that the Hyades shall sing,
昴宿星团将要吟唱之歌，
Where flap the tatters of the King,
在国王的破衣猎猎之处，
Must die unheard in
将无人聆听而消逝于
Dim Carcosa.
幽暗的卡尔科萨。
Song of my soul, my voice is dead;
我灵魂之歌，我的声音已死；
Die thou, unsung, as tears unshed
愿你消逝，无人颂咏，如未流之泪
Shall dry and die in
将干涸消逝于
Lost Carcosa."
失落的卡尔科萨。」
