Thy belt of straw and ivy buds，
Thy coral claps and amber studs
All these in me no means can move
To come to thee and be thy love.
But could youth last， and love still breed，
Had joys no date， nor age no need，
Then these delights my mind might move
To live with thee and be thy love.
作品赏析
牧羊人的恋歌纯朴而浪漫，让仙女也不免动心。然而，甜美的花儿终将凋零，就连美丽的长袍与新鞋、芳草青藤编织的腰束，还有那珊瑚与琥珀的饰品也无法让美丽的女子心动。因为这些对她都毫无意义，只有牧羊人那真诚的誓言与永恒的真心才能打动她的心。所有的华丽不过是过眼云烟，唯有真爱才是永恒。
