when life is quite through with
当生命已经告终
and leaves say alas,
当树叶叹一声:唉,
much is to do
对那在蓝天里
for the swallow,that closes
结束了飞行的燕子来说
a flight in the blue;
还有不少事要做;
when love's had his tears out,
当爱情流干眼泪,
perhaps shall pass
可能还要经过
a million years
一百万年
(while a bee dozes
(正是一只蜜蜂
on the poppies, the dears;
在可爱的罂粟花上,打瞌睡的时间;
when all's done and said,and
正是一切做完,一切说完,而且
under the grass
她的头
lies her head
躺在草下
by oaks and roses
傍着橡树,依着玫瑰,
deliberated.)
静思凝神。)
