I gave my thoughts a golden peach，

A silver citron1 tree;

They clustered2 dumbly3 out of reach

And would not sing for me.

Ibuilt my thoughts a roofofrush，

A little byre4 beside;

They left my music to the thrush5

And flew at eveningtide.

I went my way and would not care

Ifthey should come and go;

A thousand birds seemed up in air，

My thoughts were singing so.

我給了我的思緒一個金桃，

一棵銀色香櫞樹；

它們默默地聚在夠不著的地方

不會為我歌唱。（剩余67字）
