中英双语诗歌欣赏：青春的骄傲

Proud Maisie is in the wood,

Walking so early;

Sweet Robin1 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 delves2 the grave duly."

"The glowworm o'er grave and stone

Shall light thee steady;

The owl3 from the steeple sing,

Welcome, proud lady."

骄傲的梅西漫步林间，

踩着晨曦；

伶俐的知更鸟栖息树丛，

唱得甜蜜。

“告诉我，美丽的`鸟儿，

我哪年哪月穿嫁装？”－－

“等到六个殡葬人

抬你上教堂。”

“谁为我铺新床？

好鸟儿，莫撒谎。”－－

“白发司事，兼挖墓穴，

误不了你的洞房。”

“萤火虫幽幽闪闪，

把你的坟墓照亮，送葬，

猫头鹰将在塔尖高唱：

欢迎你，骄傲的姑娘。”
