MY mind lets go a thousand things,

我的心遗忘了上千件事情

Like dates of wars and deaths of kings,

比如战争和国王驾崩的日期

And yet recalls the very hour--

却记住了那一个时辰

'T was noon by yonder village tower,

村里的钟楼，是正午时分

And on the last blue noon in May--

五月最后一个晴朗的日子

The wind came briskly up this way,

凉爽的清风活泼地吹起

Crisping the brook beside the road;

吹皱了路旁的那一条小溪

Then, pausing here, set down its load

然后，在这里停下，播撒

Of pine-scents, and shook listlessly

松树的香味，又从野玫瑰树上

Two petals from that wild-rose tree.

懒懒地摇下两片花瓣
