'Tis sweet to him, who all the week
Through city-crowds must push his way,
To stroll alone through fields and woods,
And hallow thus the Sabbath-day.

And sweet it is, in summer bower,
Sincere, affectionate and gay,
One's own dear children feasting round,
To celebrate one's marriage-day.

But what is all, to his delight,
Who having long been dommed to roam,
Throws off the bundle from his back,
Before the door of his own home?

Home-sickness is a wasting pang;
This feel I hourly more and more:
There's healing only in thy wings,
Thou Breeze that play'st on Albion's shore!

乡愁

闹市的行人，一星期六天，

都在人堆里挨挨挤挤，

星期天独自到林间野外

信步闲游—有多么惬意！

夏日园亭里有人设席，

他全家围坐，儿女绕膝，

由衷地欢庆结婚纪念日，

情意绵绵---又多么甜蜜！

这种种乐趣怎比得上

远游者经过多年飘荡，

终于回到了老家门口，

赶忙卸下背负的行囊？

乡愁是一种磨人的病痛，

时时缠着我，越来越重；

只有你呵，能把它治好，

艾尔宾海岸飘拂的清风！
