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。
