但与此同时，它却在消逝：时间无可挽回地流逝，而我们却四处游荡，成为我们对细节的热爱的囚徒。dàn yǔ cǐ tóng shí， tā què zài xiāo shì： shí jiān wú kě wǎn huí dì liú shì， ér wǒ men què sì chù yóu dàng， chéng wéi wǒ men duì xì jié de rè ài de qiú tú。

But meanwhile it flees: time flees irretrievably, while we wander around, prisoners of our love of detail.

於是那欢快的小男孩们四处游荡，/ 如此喜悦地穿越山丘与山谷，/ 蔷薇的芬芳穿过荆棘丛 / 将随温柔的夏风飘散：/ 每个清晨，大自然含笑赐予，/ 那贫苦卑微的农夫也得一份，/ 云雀从草丛中振翅而上，/ 将悠扬的音符送向天际。yú shì nà huān kuài de xiǎo nán hái men sì chù yóu dàng，/ rú cǐ xǐ yuè dì chuān yuè shān qiū yǔ shān gǔ，/ qiáng wēi de fēn fāng chuān guò jīng jí cóng / jiāng suí wēn róu de xià fēng piāo sàn：/ měi gè qīng chén， dà zì rán hán xiào cì yǔ，/ nà pín kǔ bēi wēi de nóng fū yě dé yī fèn，/ yún què cóng cǎo cóng zhōng zhèn chì ér shàng，/ jiāng yōu yáng de yīn fú sòng xiàng tiān jì。

Then the merry little boys they will ramble, / So gleesome, o’er mountain and dale, / Where the sweets of the rose through the bramble / Will be blown by the mild summer gale: / Then a share of Nature’s smiles each morning / To the poor humble peasant will be given. / While the lark from his covert he is soaring, / His musical notes to the heaven.
