A Memory of Youth	青春的回憶
The moments passed as at a play;	那些時光，流逝如劇中場景；
I had the wisdom love brings forth;	我有了愛情帶來的智慧；
I had my share of mother-wit,	我有些天賦，然而，
And yet for all that I could say,	無論我說些什么，
And though I had her praise for it,	雖能得到她的贊許，卻擋不住
A cloud blown from the cut-throat north Suddenly hid Love's moon away.	一片從苦寒的北方飄來的云突然隱去愛神的月亮。
Believing every word I said,	相信我的每一句話，
I praised her body and her mind	我贊美她的肉身與靈魂，
Till pride had made her eyes grow bright,	直到驕傲光耀了她的眼，
And pleasure made her cheeks grow red,	直到幸福緋紅了她的頰，
And vanity her footfall light,	直到虛榮輕盈了她的腳步，
Yet we, for all that praise, could find Nothing but darkness overhead.	然而，雖有這樣的贊美，我們能找到的也只有頭頂?shù)年幒凇?/td>
We sat as silent as a stone,	我們靜坐如石，
We knew, though she'd not said a word,	她雖無語，我們卻都明白
That even the best of love must die,	愛情的生命終會消殞，
And had been savagely undone	會經(jīng)受無情的摧折。
Were it not that Love upon the cry	還好，終于有只滑稽的小鳥
Of a most ridiculous little bird	叫醒了愛神，他從云翳中
Tore from the clouds his marvellous moon.	扯出了他的明媚的月亮。
