英语美文欣赏：The Last Rose of Summer 夏日最后的玫瑰

英语自学网

　　This the last rose of summer
        　　Left blooming alone;
        　　All her lovely companions
        　　Are faded and gone;
        　　No flower of her kindred,
        　　No rose-bud is nigh,
        　　to reflect back her blushes,
        　　Or give sigh for sigh.
        　　I'll not leave thee, thou lone one!
        　　To pine on the stem;
        　　Since the lovely are sleeping,
        　　Go, sleep thou with them.
        　　thus kindly I scatter
        　　Thy leaves o'er the bed
        　　Where thy mates of the garden
        　　Lie scentless and dead.
        　　Soon may I follow,
        　　When friendships decay,
        　　And from Love's shining circle
        　　The gems drop away.
        　　When true hearts lie withered,
        　　And fond ones are flown,
        　　O! who would inhabit
        　　This bleak world alone?
