The Maid of Neidpath
奈帕斯的女郎

　　Earl March look'd on his dying child,
　　And, smit with grief to view her--
　　'The youth,' he cried,'whom I exiled
　　Shall be restored to woo her.'
　　马奇伯爵在临死的女儿前，
　　看着她就悲伤的心疼；
　　他喊到，“召回我流放的青年，
　　让他来向我女儿求婚。”

　　She'd at the window many an hour
　　His coming to discover:
　　And he look'd up to Ellen's bower
　　And she look'd on her lover--
　　多少个小时她守望在窗口，
　　为发现她回来的情郎；
　　当情郎仰视着艾琳的绣楼，
　　她也把情郎细细望。

　　But ah!so pale, he knew her not,
　　Though her smil on him was dwelling--
　　'And am I then forgot--forgot?'
　　It broke the heart of Ellen.
　　但这样苍白的人儿怎认得，
　　尽管是微笑着看着他？
　　“难道说他已忘了我，忘了我？”
　　这想法使艾琳心碎啦。

　　In vain he weeps, in vain he sighs,
　　Her cheek is cold as ashes;
　　Nor love's own kiss shall wake those eyes
　　To lift their silken lashes.
　　他哭泣既没用，叹息也不行，
　　她的脸像灰烬般冷掉；
　　爱和吻已唤不醒那双眼睛，
　　唤不动那丝样的睫毛。
