庄严的太阳用目光抚爱着山冈，
Flatter the mountain tops with sovereign eye,
他金光满面，亲吻着片片绿茵，
Kissing with golden face the meadows green,
灰暗的溪水也照得金碧辉煌；
Gilding pale streams with heavenly alchemy;
忽然，他让低贱的乌云连同
Anon permit the basest clouds to ride
丑恶的云影驰上他神圣的容颜，
With ugly rack on his celestial face,
使人世寂寞，看不见他的面孔，
And from the forlorn world his visage hide,
同时他偷偷地西沉，带着污点：
Stealing unseen to west with this disgrace.
同样，我的太阳在一天清晨
Even so my sun one early morn did shine,
把万丈光芒射到我额角上来；
With all triumphant splendor on my brow;
可是唉！他只属于我片刻光阴，
But out alack, he was but one hour mine,
上空的乌云早把他和我隔开。
The region cloud hath masked him from me now.
对于他，我的爱丝毫不因此冷淡；
Yet him for this my love no whit disdaineth;
世上的太阳同天上的一样，也会暗。
Suns of the world may stain when heaven's sun staineth.
