英语诗歌:To Daffodils

Robert Herrick (1591-1674)

Fair Daffodils, we weep to see

You haste away so soon:

As yet the early-rising Sun

Has not attained¹ his Noon.

Stay, stay,

Until the hasting day

Has run

But to the Even-song;

And, having prayed together, we

Will go with you along.

We have short time to stay, as you,

We have as short a Spring;

As quick a growth to meet Decay,

As you, or any thing.

We die,

As your hours do, and dry

Away,

Like to the Summer's rain;

Or as the pearls of Morning's dew

Ne'er to be found again.
