My Pretty Rose Tree
我漂亮的玫瑰樹
A flower was offered to me,
有人送給我一朵花,
Such a flower as May never bore;
五月里從沒有這樣的花。
But I said, 'I've a pretty rose tree,'
但我說我有一棵漂亮的玫魂樹,
And I passed the sweet flower o'er.
我就把這朵可愛的花還給他。
Then I went to my pretty rose tree,
然后我去看我漂亮的玫魂樹:
To tend her by day and by night;
白天黑夜把她好好照應。
But my rose turned away with jealousy,
但我的玫瑰卻嫉妒得掉頭不顧;
And her thorns were my only delight.
而她的刺卻成了我唯一的歡欣。
