[詩歌] 青春的驕傲

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.”

驕傲的梅西漫步林間，
踩著晨曦；
伶俐的知更鳥棲息樹叢，
唱得甜蜜。

“告訴我，美麗的鳥兒，
我哪年哪月穿嫁裝？”－－
“等到六個殯葬人
抬你上教堂。”

“誰為我鋪新床？
好鳥兒，莫撒謊。”－－
“白發(fā)司事，兼挖墓穴，
誤不了你的洞房。”

“螢火蟲幽幽閃閃，
把你的墳?zāi)拐樟粒驮幔?br /> 貓頭鷹將在塔尖高唱：
歡迎你，驕傲的姑娘。”
