(单词翻译:双击或拖选)

Red Rose， proud Rose， sad Rose of all my days！

Come near me， while I sing the ancient ways：

Cuchulain battling with the bitter tide；

The Druid， grey， wood-nurtured， quiet-eyed，

Who cast round Fergus dreams， and ruin untold¹；

And thine own sadness， whereof stars， grown old

In dancing silver-sandalled on the sea，

Sing in their high and lonely melody.

Come near， that no more blinded by man‘s fate，

I find under the boughs² of love and hate，

In all poor foolish things that live a day，

Eternal beauty wandering on her way.

Come near， come near， come near—Ah， leave me still

A little space for the rose-breath to fill！

Lest I no more hear common things that crave³；

The weak worm hiding down in its small cave，

The field-mouse running by me in the grass，

And heavy mortal hopes that toil⁴ and pass；

But seek alone to hear the strange things said

By God to the bright hearts of those long dead，

And learn to chaunt a tongue men do not know.

Come near； I would， before my time to go，

Sing of old Eire and the ancient ways：

Red Rose， proud Rose， sad Rose of all my days.
