-G.Herbert/赫伯特

Sweet day,so cool,so calm,so bright! 甜美的白晝，如此涼爽、安寧、明媚!

The bridal of the earth and sky- 天地間完美的匹配-----

The dew shall weep thy fall to-night; 今宵的露珠兒將為你的消逝而落淚;

For thou must die. 因?yàn)槟惚仨氹x去。

Sweet rose,whose hue angry and brave, 美麗的玫瑰，色澤紅潤艷麗，

Bids the rash gazer wipe his eye, 令匆匆而過的人拭目而視，

Thy root is ever in its grave, 你的根永遠(yuǎn)扎在墳?zāi)估铮?/p>

And thou must die. 而你必須消逝。

Sweet spring,full of sweet days and roses, 美妙的春天，充滿了美好的日子和芳香的玫瑰，

A box where sweets compacted lie, 如一支芬芳滿溢的盒子，

My music shows ye have your closes, 我的音樂表明你們也有終止，

And all must die, 萬物都得消逝。

Only a sweet and virtuous soul, 唯有美好而正直的心靈，

Like season’d timber,never gives; 猶如干燥備用的木料，永不走樣;

But though the whole world turn to coal, 縱然整個(gè)世界變?yōu)榛覡a，

Then chiefly lives. 它依然流光溢彩。
