I dreamt a dream! What can it mean? And that I was a maiden Queen Guarded by an Angel mild: Witless woe was ne'er beguiled! And I wept both night and day, And he wiped my tears away; And I wept both day and night, And hid from him my heart's delight. So he took his wings, and fled; Then the morn blushed rosy red. I dried my tears, and armed my fears With ten-thousand shields and spears. Soon my Angel came again; I was armed, he came in vain; For the time of youth was fled, And grey hairs were on my head.

我做了一个梦！它意味着什么？梦里我是少女女王，有温柔的天使守护；懵懂的忧伤从未得到排遣！我日夜哭泣，他为我拭去泪水；我昼夜哭泣，却向他藏起心中的喜悦。于是他振翅飞去，晨光泛起玫瑰般的红。我擦干眼泪，用千万面盾与长矛武装自己的恐惧。不久天使归来，我已全副武装，他只能徒劳而返；因为青春已经流逝，我的头上已生白发。
