s ? youth,

(不似花朵)

Drops ? from ? the ? stem ? of ? lifefor ? it ? will ? grow,

(自然凋落)

In ? barren ? regions, ? where ? no ? waters ? flow,

(因爱能生于无水荒漠)

Nor ? rays ? of ? promise ? cheats ? the ? pensive ? glo-om.

(无惧缺乏阳光滋润)

A ? darkling ? fire, ? faint ? hovering ? o'er ? a ? tomb,

(渐暗的火焰,微弱彷徨于墓地之周)

That ? but ? itself ? and ? darkness ? nought ? doth ? s-how,

(除了爱与黑暗,都对它无能为力)

It ? is ? my ? love's ? being ? yet ? it ? cannot ? die,
