此译如何，只有对照了原文，才能作出判断。请欣赏原文：

I NE'EK was struck before that hour 

With love so sudden and so sweet.

Her face it bloomed like a sweet flower 

And stole my heart away complete.

My face turned pale as deadly pale,

My legs refused to walk away,

And when she looked what could I ail?

My life and all seemed turned to clay.

And then my blood rushed to my face 

And took my sight away.

The trees and bushes round the place 

Seemed midnight at noonday.

I could not see a single thing，

Words from my eyes did start;

They spoke as chords do from the string,

And blood burnt round my heart.

Are flowers the winter's choice?

Is Love's bed always snow?

She seemed to hear my silent voice 

And love's appeal to know.

I never saw so sweet face 

As that I stood before：

My heart has left its dwelling-place 

And can return no more.

对于同一首诗及其译文，不同的人会有不同的看法。笔者认为，译文不仅基本做到了以顿代步，即用汉语诗行的4顿或4个意群代替原诗行的4音步和后两节中的3音步，而且还实现了自然的ー韵到底。
