怀著当初一模样的心情，我说，

With the same heart, I said, I'll answer thee

　我要答应你，当你叫我的小名。

As those, when thou shalt call me by my name --

　唉，这分明是空的愿心！我的心

Lo, the vain promise! Is the same, the same, 

还能是一模样－－饱受了人生的磨折？

Perplexed and ruffled by life's strategy? 

从前，我听得一声喊，就扔下花束，

When called before, I told how hastily

　要不，从游戏里跳起，奔过去答应，

I dropped my flower or brake off from a game,

　一路上都是我的笑容笑声在致敬，

To run and answer www.haiyawenxue.com with the smile that came

眼星里还闪烁著方才那一片欢乐。

At play last moment, and went on with me 

现在我应你，我舍下一片沉重的

Through my obedience. When I answer now,

　忧思，从孤寂里惊起。可是，我的心

I drop a grave thought, break from solitude;

还是要向你飞奔，你不是我一种的

Yet still my heart goes to thee ... ponder how ...

　善，而是百善所钟！我最可爱的人，

Not as to a single good, but all my good!

你把手按著我的心口，同意吗：孩童的

Lay thy hand on it, best one, and allow

　小脚从没跑得这么快－－象这血轮。

That no child's foot could run fast as this blood.
