(单词翻译:双击或拖选)

Autumn is over the long leaves that love us，

And over the mice in the barley¹ sheaves；

Yellow the leaves of the rowan above us，

And yellow the wet wild-strawberry leaves.

The hour of the waning² of love has beset³ us，

And weary and worn are our sad souls now；

Let us part， ere the season of passion forget us，

With a kiss and a tear on thy drooping⁴ brow.
