the last rose of summer

Tis the last rose of summer
這是夏日最後的玫瑰
Left blooming alone
獨自綻放著
All her lovely companions
所有昔日動人的同伴
Are faded and gone
都已凋落殘逝
No flower of her kindred
身旁沒有同類的花朵
No rose-bud is nigh
沒有半個玫瑰苞
to reflect back her blushes
映襯她的紅潤
Or give sigh for sigh
分擔她的憂愁
I'll not leave thee, thou lone one!
我不會離開弧零零的你
To pine on the stem
讓你單獨地憔悴
Since the lovely are sleeping
既然美麗的同伴都已入眠
Go, sleep thou with them
去吧！你也和她們一起躺著
thus kindly I scatter
為此，我好心在散放
Thy leaves o'er the bed
你的麗葉在花床上
Where thy mates of the garden
那兒，也是你花園的同伴
Lie scentless and dead
無聲無息躺著的地方
So Soon may I follow
如此，不久我也可能追隨而去
When friendships decay
當友誼漸逝
And from Love's shining circle
從閃亮的愛之戒指上
The gems drop away
寶石掉落了
When true hearts lie withered
當真摯的心已枯萎
And fond ones are flown
所愛的人已逝去
Oh! who would inhabit
啊！誰還願留在
This bleak world alone?
這荒冷的世上獨自淒涼？
