当人被逐出伊甸园门，
When Man, expell'd from Eden's bowers,
在门首盘桓，不忍遽去，
A moment linger'd near the gate,
眼前的一切都枨触前尘，
Each scene recall'd the vanish'd hours,
都叫他诅咒未来的境遇。
And bade him curse his future fate.
此后，他远走异域关山，
But, wandering on through distant climes,
学会了如何忍受悲苦;
He learnt to bear his load of grief;
对往日良辰只付之一叹，
Just gave a sigh to other times,
借纷繁景象把心事排除。
And found in busier scenes relief.
亲爱的玛丽!我也像这般，
Thus, Mary! will it be with me,
不得不与你芳姿告别;
And I must view thy charms no more;
倘若我在你左近盘桓，
For, while I linger near to thee,
我也会叹惜往日的一切。
I sigh for all I knew before.
远游能使我明智地脱险，
In flight I shall be surely wise,
逃离此间魔障的引诱;
Escaping from temptation's snare;
只要我还能见到这乐园，
I cannot view my paradise
就不甘默认我无福消受。
Without the wish of dwelling there.
