　　她坐在我的囚牢之外，
　　Watching how my fate would tend,
6 G6 l% i* ~$ t: b. x% Q　　以自私者的冷眼旁观
9 b$ k3 P# W  P　　Even as selfish-hearted men.
5 I- ~, M# R4 X. \$ r; p1 P8 q　　观察我的命运的好歹。
( A! o0 Q+ K+ j8 \8 B6 V1 S' U　　She was cruel in her fear;
　　她因胆怯而如此冷酷。
　　Through the bars one weary day,
　　郁闷的一天，我透过铁栏，
　　I looked out to see her there,
　　想看到我的希望的面目，
　　And she turned her face away!
$ {& F4 E- A. |9 n" @6 U　　却见她立即背转了脸!
6 h# j9 h+ P) B3 r9 p+ P　　Like a false guard, false watch keeping,
% N: E9 u" p+ e. o7 |+ A" O　　像一个假看守在假意监视，
　　Still in strife, she whispered peace;
　　一面敌对一面又暗示和平;
& Q( D9 i' S4 V/ q　　She would sing while I was weeping,

　　当我最后的欢乐落英遍地，
　　Even Sorrow saw, repenting,
　　见此悲惨的遗物四处抛撒
　　Those sad relics scattered round;
　　就连“哀愁”也遗憾不已;
　　Hope, whose whisper would have given
　　而希望，她本来能悄悄耳语
　　Balm to all my frenzied pain,
　　为痛苦欲狂者搽膏止痛，
3 U) n1 _. T  U$ a　　Stretched her wings, and soared to heaven,
1 S/ v( D( [8 R$ O% j　　却伸展双翼向天堂飞去，
　　Went, and ne'er returned again!
　　一去不回，从此不见影踪。
