A Dream
一个梦
Once a dream did weave a shade
一次一个梦织成一片浓阴
O'er my angel-guarded bed,
笼罩在我那有天使守护的床顶，
That an emmet lost its way
我想我是躺在草地上
Where on grass methought I lay.
有一只蚂蚁迷失了方向。
Troubled, wildered, and forlorn,
困惑，茫然，凄凄惨惨，
Dark, benighted, travel-worn,
天色已晚，走得疲乏不堪，
Over many a tangled spray,
有一捆捆树枝纵横交错，
All heart-broke, I heard her say:
全然心碎，我听见她说。
'O my children! do they cry,
啊，我的孩子们！他们可在哭泣，
Do they hear their father sigh?
他们可听见他们的父亲在叹息。
Now they look abroad to see,
一会儿他们跑到外面眺望，
Now return and weep for me.'
一会儿又回来为我悲伤。
Pitying, I dropped a tear:
我落下一滴泪出于怜悯，
But I saw a glow-worm near,
但是我看见一个萤火虫走近，
Who replied, 'What wailing wight
它答腔，是那个家伙在号啕，
Calls the watchman of the night?'
把我这个守夜者给唤来了。
'I am set to light the ground,
我就要照亮这地面，
While the beetle goes his round:
这时甲虫开始到处转；
Follow now the beetle's hum;
现在跟着甲虫的嗡嗡声走吧，
Little wanderer, hie thee home!'
小流浪者，你快快赶回家。
