新概念英語經典愛情詩歌：夢亡妻
ME THOUGHT I saw my late espousèd Saint
我仿佛看見了我那圣潔的亡妻，
Brought to me like Alcestis from the grave,
好像從墳墓回來的阿爾雪斯蒂，
Whom Joves great Son to her glad Husband gave,
由約夫的偉大兒子送還她丈夫，
Rescu'd from death by force though pale and faint.
從死亡中被搶救出來，蒼白而無力。
Mine as whom washt from spot of child-bed taint,
我的阿爾雪斯蒂已經洗凈了產褥的污點，
Purification in the old Law did save,
按照古法規凈化，保持無瑕的白璧；
And such, as yet once more I trust to have
因此，我也好像重新得到一度的光明，
Full sight of her in Heaven without restraint,
毫無阻礙地、清楚地看見她在天堂里，
Came vested all in white, pure as her mind:
全身雪白的衣裳，跟她的心地一樣純潔，
Her face was vail'd, yet to my fancied sight,
她臉上罩著薄紗，但在我幻想的眼里，
Love, sweetness, goodness, in her person shin'd
她身上清晰地放射出愛、善和嬌媚，
So clear, as in no face with more delight.
再也沒有別的臉，比這叫人更加喜悅。
But O as to embrace me she enclin'd
可是，啊！當她正要俯身抱我的時候，
I wak'd, she fled, and day brought back my night
我醒了，她逃走了，白晝又帶回我的黑夜。
