最可愛的樹，櫻桃

Ａｌｆｒｅｄ　Ｅｄｗａｒｄ　Ｈｏｕｓｍａｎ

Loveliest of trees, the cherry now

Is hung with bloom along the bough,

And stands about the woodland ride

Wearing white for Eastertide.

Now, of my threescore years and ten,

Twenty will not come again,

And take from seventy springs a score,

It only leaves me fifty more.

And since to look at things in bloom

Fifty springs are little room,

About the woodlands I will go

To see the cherry hung with snow.

最可愛的樹，櫻桃，

現在枝頭掛滿花朵，

佇立在林間小路側，

復活節前銀裝素裹。

人生七十年的歲月，

二十年已去不復來，

七十年春減二十，

我只剩下五十載。

花園錦繡悅人目，

五十年春瞬間度，

我欲流連林樹間，

觀賞櫻桃雪壓樹。
