歌词与中文翻译
I went out to the hazel wood,
我出门来到榛树林里，
Because a fire was in my head.
因为头中燃着一团火，
And cut and peeled a hazel wand,
砍下一段棒枝削成杆，
And hooked a berry to a thread;
在一根线端钩挂浆果；
And when white moths were on the wing,
在粉白蛾子展翅飞舞，
And moth-like stars were flickering out,
粉蛾似的星星闪现时，
I dropped the berry in a stream
我把浆果投到溪水里，
And caught a little silver trout.
钓起一条小小的银鱼。
When I had laid it on the floor
我把它放在了地面上，
I went to blow the fire aflame,
然后去把火苗儿吹起，
But something rustled on the floor,
可是地面上沙沙作响，
And some one called me by my name:
有谁在呼唤我的名字；
It had become a glimmering girl
它变成一个晶莹少女，
With apple blossom in her hair
鬓边簪插着苹果花儿；
Who called me by my name and ran
她叫我名字然后跑开，
And faded through the brightening air.
消失在渐亮的空气里。
Though I am old with wandering
虽然走遍了深谷高山，
Through hollow lands and hilly lands,
我已经变得衰弱老朽，
I will find out where she has gone,
但是我仍然要找到她，
And kiss her lips and take her hands;
吻她的嘴唇牵她的手；
And walk among long dappled grass,
走在斑驳的深草丛中，
And pluck till time and times are done
采撷太阳的金色苹果，
The silver apples of the moon,
采撷月亮的银色苹果，
The golden apples of the sun.
直到时光都不再流过。
