Two Years Later两年以后Has no one said those daring没人说过吗，那些Kind eyes should be more learn'd?

大胆而善意的眼睛藏着更多的学识？

Or warned you how despairing也没人警告过你吗，The moths are when they are burned?

火焰中的飞蛾有多么绝望？

I could have warned you;but you are young,我本可警告你的，但你太小，So we speak a different tongue.

我们操的是不同的语调。

O you will take whatever's offered可你，却会接受别人，And dream that all the world's a friend,以为世上的人都是朋友，Suffer as your mother suffered,遭受与你母亲一般的磨难，Be as broken in the end.

也会如你母亲一般最终的失落。

But I am old and you are young,我老了，而你还小，And I speak a barbarous tongue.

我还操着粗俗的语调。
