The fountain murmuring of sleep, A drowsy tune; The flickering green of leaves that keep The light of June. Peace, through a slumbering afternoon, The peace of June, A waiting ghost, in the blue sky, The white curved moon; June, hushed and breathless, waits, and I Wait too, with June. Come, through the lingering afternoon, Soon, love, come soon.

泉水带着睡意淙淙， 曲调朦胧。 树叶闪动绿光以保证 六月光明。 静，通过那沉睡的午后， 六月和平。 鬼魂等待，天空蔚蓝， 月弯晶晶； 六月，匆忙，等待，且咱 也把它等。 来，通过那绵缠的午后， 就来，爱情。
