I Remember, I Remember（我憶起，我憶起 ）
(1) I remember, I remember 我憶起，我憶起
The house where I was born, 那棟出生時的屋宇，
the little window where the sun 早晨，陽光從小窗中
Came peeping in at morn: 偷望進去：
He never came a wink too soon, 他從不早來片刻，
Nor brought too long a day, 也不多留半晌，
But now, I often wish the night 但是現在，我常願夜晚
Had borne my breath away! 帶走我的呼吸！
(2) I remember, I remember 我憶起，我憶起
The roses, red and white, 玫瑰花開，有紅有白
The vi’lets, and the lily-cups, 紫羅蘭，百合
Those flowers made of light! 那些由光輝構成的花朵！
The lilacs where the robin built, 有知更鳥築巢的紫丁香，
And where my brother set 有哥哥生日時
The laburnum on his birthday,-- 種植的`金煉花，－－
The tree is living yet! 依然常青！
(3) I remember, I remember 我憶起，我憶起
Where I was used to swing 經常盪鞦韆的地方
and thought the air must rush as fresh 迎面而來的風是如此清爽
To swallows on the wing; 飛燕也頗有同感；
My spirit flew in feathers then, 昔日意氣揚揚的心靈，
That is so heavy now, 現在變得如此沉重，
And summer pools could hardly cool 就是夏日的池水也無法冷卻
The fever on my brow! 我額頭的熱狂！
(4) I remember, I remember 我憶起，我憶起
The fir trees dark and high; 茂密高聳的冷杉；
I used to think their slender tops 我曾想象它細長的枝尖
Were close against the sky; 逼近天空；
It was a childish ignorance, 雖然只是幼稚無知，
But now ’tis little joy 但是，現在卻少有那般快樂
To know I’m farther off from heav’n 因為我知道自己比孩童時代
Than when I was a boy! 離蒼穹更遙遠了！
