我有一颗宝石，握在我手里，

握着宝石的我，沉沉睡去，

天气那么暖和，风儿那么静谧，

让我以为这是一个永恒的夏日。

当我醒来时，宝石不见了，

空空指间惟馀我的叹息，

此后的人生里，我再不曾寻着它，

只有那闪烁的回忆，长留我心底。

I held a Jewel in my fingers -

And went to sleep -

The day was warm, and winds were prosy -

I said "'Twill keep" -

I woke - and chid my honest fingers,

The Gem was gone -

And now, an Amethyst remembrance

Is all I own -
