当生命已经告终

when life is quite through with

当树叶叹一声：唉，

and leaves say alas,

对那在蓝天里

much is to do

结束了飞行的燕子来说

for the swallow,that closes

还有不少事要做；

a flight in the blue;

当爱情流干眼泪，

when love's had his tears out,

可能还要经过

perhaps shall pass

一百万年

a million years

（正是一只蜜蜂

(while a bee dozes

在可爱的罂粟花上，打瞌睡的时间；

on the poppies, the dears;

正是一切做完，一切说完，而且

when all's done and said,and

她的头

under the grass

躺在草下

lies her head

傍着橡树，依着玫瑰，

by oaks and roses

静思凝神。）
