瑪麗·弗朗西斯·博格
Birds are singing round my window,
Tunes the sweetest ever heard,
And I hang my cage there daily,
But I never catch a bird.
So with thoughts my brain is peopled,
And they sing there all day long:
But they will not fold their pinions
In the little cage of Song!
鳥兒在我的窗前歌唱,
唱出有史以來最甜美的曲調(diào),
我每天都把籠子掛在那里,
但我從來沒抓到過鳥兒。
我腦中也是這樣充滿了想象,
它們整天在那里歌唱:
但它們不會(huì)收起翅膀
呆在歌聲的小籠子里!
