Thomas Gray - Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard《墓地挽歌》
THE Curfew tolls the knell of parting day,
The lowing herd wind slowly oer the lea,
The plowman homeward plods his weary way,
And leaves the world to darkness and to me.
沉沉暮钟鸣，霭霭白日远，
牛群哞哞吟，草上逶迤缓，
犁人步履艰，疲惫把家返，

And all the air a solemn stillness holds,
Save where the beetle wheels his droning flight,
And drowsy tinklings lull the distant folds;
山水方明灭，此时渐黯淡，

唯有甲虫飞，嗡嗡在盘旋，
昏昏铃铛响，远处羊群安。
Save that from yonder ivy-mantled towr
The moping owl does to the moon complain
Of such as, wandring near her secret bowr,
Molest her ancient solitary reign.
唯有在那边，高塔青藤满，
