Lyrics by:Charles Cotton/Anonymous/Ben Jonson/William Blake/John Keats/Alfred Tennyson
Composed by:Benjamin Britten
The day's grown old the fainting sun
日暮西沉 残阳将尽
Has but a little way to run
余晖仅剩 寸步难行
And yet his steeds with all his skill
纵使神驹 竭尽全力
Scarce lug the chariot down the hill
难挽金车 坠下山脊
The shadows now so long do grow
暗影蔓延 愈显修长
That brambles like tall cedars show
荆棘丛生 恍若雪松
Mole hills seem mountains and the ant
鼹鼠丘成 巍峨山岭
Appears a monstrous elephant
蝼蚁竟似 巨象身形
A very little little flock
小小羊群三五只
Shades thrice the ground that it would stock
影长三倍掩荒陂
Whilst the small stripling following them
牧童随行矮小身
Appears a mighty Polypheme
恍若独眼巨人临
And now on benches all are sat
众人闲坐长凳上
In the cool air to sit and chat
凉风习习话家常
Till Phoebus dipping in the west
待到日神西沉时
Shall lead the world the way to rest
引领万物入梦乡
