A. L. Barbauld - Life! I know Not What Thou Art 汉译

Life! I know not what thou art.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

But know that thou and I must part;

And when, or how, or where we met,

I own to me’s a secret yet.

Life! We’ve been long together,

Through pleasant and through cloudy weather;

’Tis hard to part when friends are dear—

Perhaps ’twill coast a sigh, a tear;

—Then steal away, give little warning,

Choose thine own time;

Say not Good Night, —but in some brighter clime

Bid me Good Morning!
