她走在美的光彩中

她走在美的光彩中，像夜晚

She walks in Beauty, like the night

皎洁无云而且繁星满天

Of cloudless climes and starry skies;

明与暗的最美妙的色泽

And all that's best of dark and bright

在她的仪容和秋波里呈现

Meet in her aspect and her eyes:

耀目的白天只嫌光太强

Thus mellowed to that tender light

它比那光亮柔和而幽暗

Which Heaven to gaudy day denies.

增加或减少一份明与暗

One shade the more, one ray the less,

就会损害这难言的美

Had half impaired the nameless grace

美波动在她乌黑的发上

Which waves in every raven tress,

或者散布淡淡的光辉

Or softly lightens o'er her face;

在那脸庞，恬静的思绪

Where thoughts serenely sweet express,

指明它的来处纯洁而珍贵

How pure, how dear their dwelling-place.
