If recollecting were forgetting
　　如果记住就是忘却
　　If recollecting were forgetting，
　　Then I remember not.
　　And if forgetting， recollecting，
　　How near I had forgot.
　　And if to miss， were merry，
　　And to mourn， were gay，
　　How very blithe the fingers，
　　That gathered this， Today！
　　如果記住就是忘却，
　　我将不再回忆。
　　如果忘却就是记住，
　　我多么接近于忘却。
　　如果相思，是娱乐，
　　而哀悼，是喜悦，
　　那些手指何等欢快，今天，
　　采撷到了这些。
