My Pretty Rose Tree

我漂亮的玫瑰树

A flower was offered to me,

有人送给我一朵花，

Such a flower as May never bore;

五月里从没有这样的花。

But I said, 'I've a pretty rose tree,'

但我说我有一棵漂亮的玫魂树，

And I passed the sweet flower o'er.

我就把这朵可爱的花还给他。

Then I went to my pretty rose tree,

然后我去看我漂亮的玫魂树：

To tend her by day and by night;

白天黑夜把她好好照应。

But my rose turned away with jealousy,

但我的玫瑰却嫉妒得掉头不顾；

And her thorns were my only delight.

而她的刺却成了我唯一的欢欣。
