みんなのよく知る夏と，　我々が，心ひかれる夏と

There is a June when Corn is cut

And Roses in the Seed –

A Summer briefer than the first

But tenderer indeed

六月は玉蜀黍が刈られ

バラが種を付ける季節―

最初の夏より短いけど

たしかに穏やかな夏

As should a Face supposed the Grave’s

Emerge a single Noon

In the Vermillion that it wore

Affect us, and return –

墓の顔と思える面影が

ある日の昼だけ現れて

真っ赤な装いを凝らし

感動させて，すぐ帰る―

Two Seasons, it is said, exist –

The Summer of the Just,

And this of Ours, diversified

With Prospect, and with Frost –

季節が二つ，ある，と言う―

みんなのよく知る夏と，

我々が，心ひかれる夏と

期待の夏と，霜の夏と―

May not our Second with its First

So infinite compare

That We but recollect the one

The other to prefer?

第二の夏は永遠で

第一の夏と比較できない

だから片方を思い出し

もう片方を恋しがる？
