Let us use it while we may

Snatch those joys that haste away!

Earth her winter coat may cast,

And renew her beeauty past:

But, our winter come, in vain

We solicit spring again;

And when our furrows snow shall cover,

Love may return but never lover.

趁現(xiàn)在可能，我們用用它，

把匆匆逝去的歡樂(lè)抓緊!

大地上會(huì)撒下它的冬衣，

然后又恢復(fù)過(guò)去的美麗，

但是當(dāng)我們的冬天來(lái)臨，

我們求春天回來(lái)可不行;

當(dāng)白雪蓋住我們額頭的皺紋，

愛可能回來(lái)，但愛人決不可能。
