你用细心而慈祥的手指合上
Shutting with careful fingers and benign
喜爱蒙眬的眼睛，遮住光色，
Our gloom-pleased eyes, embowered from the light,
让眼睛荫蔽在神圣的遗忘之乡；
Enshaded in forgetfulness divine:
酣甜的睡眠呵！如果你乐意，就请在
O soothest Sleep! If so it please thee, close,
你歌赞的中途 ，合上我甘愿的两眼，
In midst of this thine hymn, my willing eyes,
要不就等到“阿门”之后，你来
Or wait the 'Amen', ere thy poppy throws
把罂粟催眠的好意洒到我床边；
Around my bed its lulling charities.
然后请救我，否则逝去的日光
Then save me, or the passed day will shine
会照到我枕上，引起一串串悲哀；
Upon my pillow, breeding many woes;
请救我摆脱生性的好奇，这好奇
Save me from curious conscience, that still hoards
依然有力气向黑暗钻进，像鼹鼠；
Its strength for darkness, burrowing like a mole;
请在润滑的锁孔里巧转钥匙，
Turn the key deftly in the oiled wards,
把装着我的魂魄的灵棺封住。
And seal the hushed casket of my soul.
