| Ye have been fresh and green
| Has sido fresco y verde
|
| Ye have been fill’d with flowers
| Os habéis llenado de flores
|
| And ye the walks have been
| Y vosotros los paseos han sido
|
| Where maids have spent their hours
| Donde las criadas han pasado sus horas
|
| You’ve heard them sweetly sing
| Los has escuchado cantar dulcemente
|
| And seen them in a round:
| Y los he visto en redondo:
|
| Each virgin like a spring
| Cada virgen como un manantial
|
| With honeysuckles crown’d
| con madreselvas coronadas
|
| But now we see none here
| Pero ahora no vemos ninguno aquí
|
| Whose silv’ry feet did tread
| cuyos pies plateados pisaron
|
| And with dishevell’d hair
| y con el pelo despeinado
|
| Adorn’d this smoother mead
| Adornado este hidromiel más suave
|
| Like unthrifts, having spent
| Como unthrifts, habiendo gastado
|
| Your stock and needy grown
| Tu stock y necesitados crecieron
|
| You’re left here to lament
| Te quedas aquí para lamentarte
|
| Your poor estates, alone | Tus pobres haciendas, solas |
