春天姗姗来迟，
我等得心碎。

“年轻的四月女郎，
要多久 你在雪被下沉睡！”

终于 她走来了，
可露水中花蕾已毁。

梦里 我的爱失去了，
而我的心 也已经破碎。

Waiting

I thought my heart would break
Because the Spring was slow.
I said, "How long young April sleeps
Beneath the snow!"
But when at last she came
And buds broke in the dew,
I dreamed of my lost love,
And my heart broke, too!

By Charles Hanson Towne (美1877-1949)
