I am worn out with dreams;A weather-worn, marble tritonAmong the streams;And all day long I lookUpon this lady’s beautyAs though I had found in book我因多梦而憔悴衰减;像一个风雨剥蚀的石雕海神在溪流中间;整整一天我都在观看这位女士的美貌，好像我在一本书里发现A pictured beauty,Pleased to have filled the eyesOr the discerning ears,Delighted to be but wise,For men improve with the years;And yet and yetIs this my dream, or the truth?

O would that we had metWhen I had my burning youth;But I grow old among dreams,A weather-worn, marble tritonAmong the streams.

一幅美人图画，因眼睛或灵敏的耳朵充实而欢欣，因仅仅变得聪明而愉悦，因为人们随岁月长进;然而，然而，这是我的梦，还是真实?

呵，但愿我们曾相识在我青春如火时!

但是我在梦中已变衰残，像一个风雨剥蚀的石雕海神在溪流中间。
