昨夜我和心愛的人兒併坐，
他為我唱一支舊日情歌，
假使是從前，歌兒使我歡喜，
可是昨夜，昨夜只有痛苦。
昨夜我們坐看星兒升起，
可是烏雲即刻使藍天淒淒，
我們回過頭來彼此凝視，
淚珠使我們雙目迷離。
我們在喜愛的小徑徘徊，
默默走著，心兒已碎，
從前我們常常談笑嘻戲，
可是昨夜，昨夜我們永別！

George Darley

Last Night

I sat with one I love last night,
She sang to me an olden strain;
In former times it woke delight.
Last night-but pain.
Last night we saw the stars arise,
But clouds soon dimmed the ether blue;
And when we sought each other’s eyes
Tear dimmed them too!
We paced along our favorite walk,
But paced in silence broken-hearted
Of old we used to smile and talk;
Last night-we parted.

-George Darley
