低鸣，树叶一片片枯萎，凋零；
Among the bushes, half leafless and dry;
天上的星星看上去那么冷峻，
The stars look very cold about the sky,
而我呀还有多少里路程要赶；
And I have many miles on foot to fare.
但我没感到天气肃杀，严寒，
Yet feel I little of the cool bleak air,
没听到枯叶萧飒，窸窣有声，
Or of the dead leaves rustling drearily,
没留意高空星焰如盏盏银灯，
Or of those silver lamps that burn on high,
没觉着离温暖的家有多么遥远：
Or of the distance from home's pleasant lair.
因为我心中溢满了深情厚谊，
For I am brimful of the friendliness
是在小小的村舍里觅得；我看见
That in a little cottage I have found;
银发的弥尔顿说不尽多少忧悒，
Of fair-haired Milton's eloquent distress,
把挚爱向溺水的好友里西达斯呈献；
And all his love for gentle Lycid drowned;
可爱的劳拉身穿淡色的绿衣，
Of lovely Laura in her light green dress,
忠诚的彼得拉克头戴光荣的桂冠。
And faithful Petrarch gloriously crowned.
