Only in sleep I see their faces,
唯有在梦中，我方能看见他们的脸庞，
Children I played with when I was a child,
那些我童年时代一同嬉戏的伙伴，
Louise comes back with her brown hair braided,
路易丝归来，棕色头发编成发辫，
Annie with ringlets warm and wild.
安妮带着热烈奔放的卷发。
Only in sleep Time is forgotten—
唯有在梦里，时间被彻底遗忘——
What may have come to them, who can know?
无人知晓，他们后来经历了怎样的人生？
Yet we played last night as long ago,
可昨夜梦里，我们一如往昔般玩耍，
And the doll‑house stood at the turn of the stair.
玩具小屋，伫立在楼梯转角。
The years had not sharpened their smooth round faces,
岁月未曾磨去他们圆润稚嫩的脸庞，
I met their eyes and found them mild—
我望向他们眼眸，依旧那般温和——
Do they, too, dream of me, I wonder,
我不禁遐想：他们是否也会梦见我，
And for them am I too a child?
在他们的梦里，我是否也仍是孩童？
