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.
