玛丽·弗朗西斯·博格
Birds are singing round my window,
Tunes the sweetest ever heard,
And I hang my cage there daily,
But I never catch a bird.
So with thoughts my brain is peopled,
And they sing there all day long:
But they will not fold their pinions
In the little cage of Song!
鳥儿在我的窗前歌唱,
唱出有史以来最甜美的曲调,
我每天都把笼子挂在那里,
但我从来没抓到过鸟儿。
我脑中也是这样充满了想象,
它们整天在那里歌唱:
但它们不会收起翅膀
呆在歌声的小笼子里!
