My Pretty Rose Tree

William Blake

A flower was offered to me,
Such a flower as May never bore;
But I said "I've a pretty rose tree,"
And I passed the sweet flower o'er.

Then I went to my pretty rose tree,
To tend her by day and by night;
But my rose turned away with jealousy,
And her thorns were my only delight.


我漂亮的玫瑰树

作者：威廉·布莱克

有人赠予我一朵花儿，
那样的一朵五月花儿从未让人觉得乏味；
可是我却说“我有一棵漂亮的玫瑰树，”
对那朵甜美的花儿毫不理会。

然后我走向我那棵漂亮的玫瑰树，
白天黑夜给予她照顾与呵护；
可是我的玫瑰却嫉妒地转过脸去，
她的利刺是我独有的乐趣。
