英語(yǔ)詩(shī)《青春的驕傲》
The Pride of Youth
華爾德·司各特
Proud Maisie is in the wood,
Walking so early;
Sweet Robin sits on the bush,
Singing so rarely.
"tell me, thou bonny bird,
when shall I marry me?"
"when six braw gentlemen
kirkward shall carry ye."
"who makes the bridal bed,
birdie, say truly?"
"The gray-headed sexton
That delves the grave duly."
"The glowworm o'er grave and stone
Shall light thee steady;
The owl from the steeple sing,
Welcome, proud lady."
青春的驕傲
驕傲的梅西漫步林間，
踩著晨曦；
伶俐的知更鳥(niǎo)棲息樹(shù)叢，
唱得甜蜜。
“告訴我，美麗的鳥(niǎo)兒，
我哪年哪月穿嫁裝？”－－
“等到六個(gè)殯葬人
抬你上教堂�！�
“誰(shuí)為我鋪新床？
好鳥(niǎo)兒，莫撒謊�！保�
“白發(fā)司事，兼挖墓穴，
誤不了你的洞房�！�
“螢火蟲(chóng)幽幽閃閃，
把你的墳?zāi)拐樟�，送葬�?BR>貓頭鷹將在塔尖高唱：
歡迎你，驕傲的姑娘�！�
