I Saw Thee Weep

I saw thee weep---the big bright tear

Came o'er that eye of blue;

And then methought it did appear

A violet dropping dew:

I saw thee smile---the sapphire's blaze

Beside thee ceased to shine;

It could not match the living rays

That filled that glance of thine.

As clouds from yonder sun receive

A deep and mellow dye,

Which scarce the shade of coming eve

Can banish from the sky,

Those smiles unto the moodiest mind

Their own pure joy impart;

Their sunshine leaves a glow behind

That lightens o'er the heart. 

 

我见过你哭——晶莹的泪珠，

挂在蓝色的双目，

就像一朵紫罗兰沾满晨露。

 

我见过你笑——

璀璨的宝石，

光焰也不再闪耀，

它怎能与你回眸一瞥的灵光比较！

 

夕阳给云海染上了绚丽的色彩；

冉冉的暝色也不能，

不能把这奇彩逐开。

你的微笑让抑郁拥有了欢乐，

像明媚的阳光，

在我的心头闪烁。
