英語詩歌：青春的驕傲

The Pride of Youth

青春的驕傲

Proud Maisie is in the wood,

Walking so early;

Sweet Robin sits on the bush,

Singing so rarely.

“tell me ,thou bonny bird,

when shall I marry me?“

-“when six braw gentlemen

kirkward shall carry ye.“

“who makes the bridal bed,

birdie, say truly?“

-“The gray-headed sexton

That delves the grave duly.

“The glowworm o‘er grave and stone

Shall light thee steady;

The owl from the steeple sing,

Welcome, proud lady.“

驕傲的梅西漫步林間，

踩着晨曦；

伶俐的知更鳥棲息樹叢，

唱得甜蜜。

“告訴我，美麗的.鳥兒，

我哪年哪月穿嫁裝？

“等到六個殯葬人

抬你上教堂。

“誰為我鋪新牀？

好鳥兒，莫撒謊。“－－

“白髮司事，兼挖墓穴，

誤不了你的洞房。

“螢火蟲幽幽閃閃，

把你的墳墓照亮，送葬，

貓頭鷹將在塔尖高唱：

歡迎你，驕傲的姑娘。
