Saying Good-bye to Cambridge Again

　　(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，我常愿夜晚

　　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，有知更鳥筑巢的紫丁香，

　　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 經常蕩秋千的地方

　　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!

　　by Thomas Hood， 1799-1845
