The Last Rose of Summer

(1)

'Tis the last rose of summer这是夏日最后的玫瑰

Left blooming alone;独自绽放着；

All her lovely companions所有昔日动人的同伴

Are faded and gone;都已凋落残逝；

No flower of her kindred,身旁没有同类的花朵，

No rose-bud is nigh,没有半个玫瑰苞，

to reflect back her blushes,映衬她的红润，

Or give sigh for sigh.分担她的忧愁。

(2)

I'll not leave thee, thou lone one!我不会离开弧零零的妳！

To pine on the stem;让妳单独地憔悴；

Since the lovely are sleeping,既然美丽的同伴都已入眠，

Go, sleep thou with them.去吧！妳也和她们一起躺着。

thus kindly I scatter为此，我好心在散放

Thy leaves o'er the bed妳的丽叶在花床上

Where thy mates of the garden那儿，也是妳花园的同伴

Lie scentless and dead.无声无息躺着的地方。

(3)

Soon may I follow,不久我也可能追随我朋友而去，

When friendships decay,当友谊渐逝，

And from Love's shining circle像从灿烂之爱情圈中

The gems drop away.掉落的宝石。

When true hearts lie withered,当忠诚的友人远去，

And fond ones are flown,所爱的人飞走，

O! who would inhabit啊！谁还愿留在

This bleak world alone?这荒冷的世上独自凄凉？
