Some deem[认为] Im gentle, some Im kind:

It may be so, —I cannot say.

I know I have a simple mind

And see things in a simple way;

And like a child I love to play.

I love to toy with[摆弄] pretty words

And syllable[分成音节] them into rhyme[押韵];

To make them sing like sunny birds

In happy droves[一大群] with silver chime[(乐器)敲钟],

In dulcet[怡人的] groves[小树林] in summer time.

I pray, with hair more white than grey,

And second childhood coming on,

That yet with wonderment[惊叹] I may

See life as in its lucent[明亮的,透明的] dawn,

And be by beauty so beguiled[令人陶醉]

Ill sing as sings a child.

有人说我温和,有人说我仁慈:

或许是如此吧,我却不能言说。

我知我心单纯

简简单单看世事;

喜爱嬉闹如孩童。

我爱随意使用漂亮的词语

把它们编排成韵律;

让它们像明媚欢乐的鸟群

在夏日怡人的树林中,

用银铃般的歌声歌唱。

我祈愿——在白发多于灰发,

即将到来的第二个童年,

我还能带着惊叹

看到生命之初清明透亮的模样,

也愿美深深地迷住我

我必像孩童一样歌唱。
