I remember, I remember the house where I was born, the little window where the sun came peeping in at morn; he never came a wink too soon nor brought too long a day; but now, I often wish the night had borne my breath away。
我記得呀,我記得:我出生的那間屋子, 早晨,陽光從小窗進(jìn)來窺視; 他從不早來片刻, 也不多留半晌, 但現(xiàn)在,我常愿黑夜帶走我的呼吸。
I remember, I remember the rose red and white, the violet and the lily-cups— those flowers made of light! The lilacs where the robin built, and where my brother set The laburnum on his birthday,— the tree is living yet!
我記得呀,我記得:玫瑰花紅白相映, 還有紫羅蘭和百合—— 全是由光織成的花朵! 有知更鳥筑巢的紫丁香, 還有哥哥在他生日那天種植的金鏈花,—— 它依然存活著!
I remember, I remember where I used to swing, and thought the air must rush as fresh to swallows on the wing; my spirit flew in feathers then that is so heavy now, and summer pools could hardly cool the fever on my brow。
我記得呀,我記得:我從前常在那兒蕩秋千, 想著拂面的風(fēng)是如此清爽,風(fēng)中的飛燕肯定也感覺一樣; 昔日我那自在翱翔的心靈, 如今變得如此沉重, 即使夏日的池塘也無法冷卻 我額頭的熱狂!
I remember, I remember the fir trees dark and high; I used to think their slender tops were close against the sky: it was a childish ignorance, but now this little joy to know I’m farther off from heaven than when I was a boy。
我記得呀,我記得:蒼郁高聳的冷杉; 我從前常以為它們細(xì)長的樹梢,已經(jīng)逼近天空; 雖然那只是孩子的幼稚無知, 但是現(xiàn)在卻少有那般快樂 我知道兒時離我那么近的天堂,如今已經(jīng)越來越遠(yuǎn)了。
