啊，美丽而庄严的少女，你的眼睛

O fair and stately maid, whose eyes

燃烧在高处的天空，

Were kindled in the upper skies

那同样的火炬也曾把我点燃；

At the same torch that lighted mine;

因此，我依然必须向你解释

For so I must interpret still

你对我意志的甜蜜统治

Thy sweet dominion o'er my will,

是出自一种神奇的同感。

A sympathy divine.

哦，就让我无可指责地凝望

Ah! let me blameless gaze upon

那象是在我自己心上的脸庞；

Features that seem at heart my own;

不去害怕那警戒的哨兵，

Nor fear those watchful sentinels,

那禁止的扫视只能增添她的魅力，

Who charm the more their glance forbids,

当它拒绝时，那眼睑下面纯洁的光辉

Chaste-glowing, underneath their lids,

却象一团火焰引领我前行。

With fire that draws while it repels.
