　　Shall be restored to woo her.'

　　His coming to discover:

　　And he look'd up to Ellen's bower

　　And she look'd on her lover--

　　為發(fā)現(xiàn)她回來的.情郎;

　　當(dāng)情郎仰視著艾琳的繡樓，

　　她也把情郎細細望。

　　But ah!so pale, he knew her not,

　　Though her smil on him was dwelling--

　　'And am I then forgot--forgot?'

　　It broke the heart of Ellen.

　　但這樣蒼白的人兒怎認(rèn)得，

　　盡管是微笑著看著他?

　　“難道說他已忘了我，忘了我?”

　　In vain he weeps, in vain he sighs,

　　Her cheek is cold as ashes;

　　Nor love's own kiss shall wake those eyes

　　To lift their silken lashes.

　　他哭泣既沒用，嘆息也不行，

　　她的臉像灰燼般冷掉;

　　愛和吻已喚不醒那雙眼睛，

　　喚不動那絲樣的睫毛。
