童年的记忆
I remember, I remember
The house where I was born,,
the little window where the sun
Came peeping in at morn:
He never came a wink too soon,
Nor brought too long a day,
But now, I often wish the night
Had borne my breath away!
我忆起,我忆起
那栋出生时的屋宇
早晨,阳光从小窗中
偷望进去:
他从不早来片刻,
也不多留半晌,
但是现在,我常愿夜晚
带走我的呼吸!
I remember, I remember
Where I was used to swing
and thought the air must rush as fresh
To swallows on the wing;
My spirit flew in feathers then,
That is so heavy now,
And summer pools could hardly cool
The fever on my brow!
我忆起,我忆起
经常荡秋千的地方
迎面而来的风是如此清爽
飞燕也颇有同感;
昔日意气扬扬的心灵,
现在变得如此沉重,
就是夏日的池水也无法冷却
我额头的热狂!
I remember, I remember
The fir trees dark and high;
I used to think their slender tops
Were close against the sky;
It was a childish ignorance,
But now with little joy
To know I'm farther off from heaven
Than when I was a boy!
我忆起,我忆起茂密高耸的冷杉;
我曾想象它细长的枝尖
逼近天空;
虽然只是幼稚无知,
但是,现在却少有那般快乐
因为我知道自己比孩童时代
离苍穹更遥远了!
