The Last Rose of Summer
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 withthem.
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?
夏天的最后一朵玫瑰
這是夏天的最后一朵玫瑰,
她獨自盛開著。
她所有迷人的同伴,
都已香消玉殞。
沒有親人,
也沒有伙伴,
與她爭芳斗艷,
與她同病相憐。
我不會離開!
我不會讓她獨自一人!
我不會讓她獨自傷悲!
既然迷人的同伴們都已長眠,
那么去吧,與她們同眠。
所以,我輕輕地,
把她灑落在花園。
那兒,也是她的同伴們安息的地方。
當那珍貴的友情逐漸逝去,
當那摯愛指環(huán)上閃耀的寶石暗淡無光,
我也許將很快與你同往。
當那真情如鮮花般枯萎,
當那愛的人隨風而逝,
?。≌l還愿意孤零零地待在這個冰冷的世上?
