The last rose of summer夏日最後的玫瑰
Left blooming alone;獨自綻放着；
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妳！
To pine on the stem;讓妳單獨地憔悴；
Since the lovely are sleeping,既然美麗的同伴都已入眠，
Go, sleep thou with them.去吧！妳也和她們一起躺着。
thus kindly I scatter為此，我好心在散放
Thy leaves o’er the bed妳的麗葉在花牀上
Where thy mates of the garden那兒，也是妳花園的同伴
Lie scentless and dead.無聲無息躺着的地方。
Soon may I follow,不久我也可能追隨我朋友而去，
When friendships decay,當友誼漸逝，
And from Love’s shining circle像從燦爛之愛情圈中
The gems drop away.掉落的寶石。
When true hearts lie withered,當忠誠的友人遠去，
And fond ones are flown,所愛的人飛走，
O! who would inhabit啊！誰還願留在
This bleak world alone?這荒冷的世上獨自淒涼？
