The Last Rose of Summer - Laura Wright

The Last Rose of Summer - Laura Wright

'Tis the last rose of summer
夏芳之末
Left blooming alone
孑然绽开
All her lovely companions
昔日俊朋
Are faded and gone
俱已凋败
No flower of her kindred
既无同侪
No rosebud is nigh
亦乏苞待
To reflect back her blushes
霞润难映
Or give sigh for sigh
忧思萦怀
I'll not leave thee thou lone one
何忍子弃
To pine on the stem
节断萼伤
Since the lovely are sleeping
友伴此眠
Go sleep thou with them
请寝其旁
Thus kindly I scatter
散子柔华
Thy leaves o'er the bed
苗床之上
Where thy mates of the garden
君朋寂寂
Lie scentless and dead
长寐此方
So soon may I follow
吾亦将殁
When friendships decay
若谊成灰
And from love's shining circle
情环恋结
The gems drop away
珠翠早坠
When true hearts lie withered
意伴草枯
And fond ones are flown
人逐鸢飞
Oh who would inhabit
孰愿独驻
This bleak world alone
水伤山悲
