当人被逐出伊甸园门，　　When Man, expell'd from Eden's bowers,　　在门首盘桓，不忍遽去，　　A moment linger'd near the gate,　　眼前的一切都枨触前尘，　　Each scene recall'd the vanish'd hours,　　都叫他诅咒未来的境遇。

　　And bade him curse his future fate.

　　此后，他远走异域关山，　　But, wandering on through distant climes,　　学会了如何忍受悲苦;　　He learnt to bear his load of grief;　　对往日良辰只付之一叹，　　Just gave a sigh to other times,　　借纷繁景象把心事排除。

　　And found in busier scenes relief.

　　亲爱的玛丽!

我也像这般，　　Thus, Mary!

will it be with me,　　不得不与你芳姿告别;　　And I must view thy charms no more;　　倘若我在你左近盘桓，　　For, while I linger near to thee,　　我也会叹惜往日的一切。

　　I sigh for all I knew before.

　　远游能使我明智地脱险，　　In flight I shall be surely wise,　　逃离此间魔障的引诱;　　Escaping from temptation's snare;　　只要我还能见到这乐园，　　I cannot view my paradise　　就不甘默认我无福消受。

　　Without the wish of dwelling there.
