她走在美的光彩中，像夜晚

She walks in Beauty, like the night

皎潔無云而且繁星滿天

Of cloudless climes and starry skies;

明與暗的最美妙的色澤

And all that's best of dark and bright

在她的儀容和秋波里呈現(xiàn)

Meet in her aspect and her eyes:

耀目的白天只嫌光太強

Thus mellowed to that tender light

它比那光亮柔和而幽暗

Which Heaven to gaudy day denies.

增加或減少一份明與暗

One shade the more, one ray the less,

就會損害這難言的美

Had half impaired the nameless grace

美波動在她烏黑的發(fā)上

Which waves in every raven tress,

或者散布淡淡的光輝

Or softly lightens o'er her face;

在那臉龐，恬靜的思緒

Where thoughts serenely sweet express,

指明它的來處純潔而珍貴

How pure, how dear their dwelling-place.
