Today we are obliged to be romantic今朝兮兮，望君风流，

　　And think of yet another valentine.翌宰霏霏，共此时欢。

　　We know the rules and we are both pedantic:年岁叹叹，故作心安：

　　Today’s the day we have to be romantic.今朝兮兮，望君风流。

　　Our love is old and sure, not new and frantic.旧情暧暧，亘古长传。

　　You know I’m yours and I know you are mine.与君靡靡，佳偶天成。

　　And saying that has made me feel romantic,温情侃侃，卿言如岚，

　　My dearest love, my darling valentine.浓情戚戚，白首阑珊。

　　(四)‘A Drinking Song’ by W.B. Yeats

　　《饮酒歌》—— 威廉·勃特勒·叶芝(1865~ 1939)

　　从题目看，这似乎不像首情诗，很多人争议说它其实是在歌颂美酒。不过不管怎样，这首诗充满了罗曼蒂克的情调这是无可否认的。诗人在第一句中写道：“酒之醇美兮，得于舌喉;爱之深浓兮，望乎眼眸(Wine comes in at the mouth and love comes in at the eye)”，不过，若是一觉醒来闻着自己浑身酒味儿，眼前看到的是邋遢素颜的她/他，你可一定得做好心理准备。

　　Wine comes in at the mouth酒之醇美兮，得于舌喉;

　　And love comes in at the eye;爱之深浓兮，望乎眼眸;

　　That’s all we shall know for truth Before we grow old and die.此中真意兮，一生索求;

　　I lift the glass to my mouth,I look at you, and I sigh.停杯视君兮，叹息无休。

　　(云影流光译)

　　(五)‘Valentine’ by John Fuller

　　《情人节》—— 约翰·傅勒

　　约翰·傅勒，英国作家，出生于1937年，这位诗人在本期榜单中貌似名气最小，但他的父亲可是大名鼎鼎的作家劳埃·傅勒(Roy Fuller)。这首诗有一点“色情”，歌颂的是恋人的举手投足，如：“我喜欢你面颊微倾时的样子”，诗文字里行间还有些挑逗的调调，比如说这句：“痴你与泡沫天真的玩耍，念你的胴体于莲花洒下(I’d like to find you in the shower and chase the soap for half an hour)”。　　The things about you I appreciate may seem indelicate:在我心里最美的情话，是关于你难以启齿的芳华：

　　I’d like to find you in the shower and chase the soap for half an hour.痴你与泡沫天真的玩耍，念你的胴体于莲花洒下。

　　I’d like to have you in my power and see your eyes dilate.愿能以我之姓冠你之名，凝视你含情脉脉的双眸。

　　I’d like to have your back to scourand other parts to lubricate.恋那摩擦在床板之上的云雨巫山，爱你我肆意放纵的鱼水之欢。

　　Sometimes I feel it is my fate To chase you screaming up a tower or make you cower命运的安排把我带到你的身畔，愉悦你的肉体，震魄你的心灵，

　　By asking you to differentiate Nietzsche from Schopenhauer.在你身上，我知道自己该遵从尼采，还是叔本华。

　　I’d like to successfully guess your weight and win you at a féte.请让我兴奋于猜到你体重的喜悦，请让我沉醉于陪伴你共餐的欢愉。

　　I’d like to offer you a flower.请让我为你送上生命中那每一束美艳的鲜花。
