Sweet day, so cool, so calm, so bright,
甜蜜的一天,这么凉爽,这么平静,这么明媚,
The bridal of the earth and sky;
大地与天空的新娘;
The dew shall weep thy fall to-night,
露珠会为你落入夜晚而哭泣;
For thou must die.
因为你必死。
Sweet rose, whose hue angry and brave
甜蜜的玫瑰,它的色泽意怒而华美
Bids the rash gazer wipe his eye;
让鲁莽的窥视者擦拭他的眼睛:
Thy root is ever in its grave,
你的根永远在你的墓中,
And thou must die.
而你必死。
Sweet spring, full of sweet days and roses,
甜蜜的春天,满是甜蜜的日子和玫瑰,
A box where sweets compacted lie;
一个压实甜蜜的箱子放着,
My music shows ye have your closes,

And all must die.

Only a sweet and virtuous soul,
只有蕴含甜蜜和美德的灵魂,
Like season'd timber, never gives;
像风干的木材,永不放弃;
But though the whole world turn to coal,
尽管整个世界变成煤炭,
Then chiefly lives.
也多半活着。
