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! 

翻译：

如果记住就是忘却
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。
