The Angel
天使
I dreamt a dream! What can it mean?
我做了一个梦！怎么说得清？
And that I was a maiden Queen
梦见我竟是个女王，还没有结婚：
Guarded by an Angel mild:
被一个温柔的天使护卫：
Witless woe was ne'er beguiled!
却并不能排遣我愚蠢的伤悲！
And I wept both night and day,
我总是在哭泣，夜晚和白天
And he wiped my tears away;
他总是把我的泪水擦干，
And I wept both day and night,
我总是在哭泣，白天和夜晚，
And hid from him my heart's delight.
我心中的欢悦却向他隐瞒。

So he took his wings, and fled;
因此他就展翅飞走：
Then the morn blushed rosy red.
清晨抹上玫魂红的娇羞：
I dried my tears, and armed my fears
我擦干了眼泪，开始武装，
With ten thousand shields and spears.
用一万副盾牌与长矛使我不心慌。
Soon my Angel came again;
不久我的天使又飞回：
I was armed, he came in vain;
我却已武装戒备，他这是白费：
For the time of youth was fled,
青春的时光早已不知去向，
And grey hairs were on my head.
我的头上也已白发苍苍。
