Weary with toil, I haste me to my bed,

Cansado do labor, apresso-me ao meu leito,

The dear respose for limbs with travel tired,

O doce repouso para os membros fatigados pela jornada,

But then begins a journey in my head

Mas então começa uma viagem em minha mente

To work my mind, when body's work's expired.

A exercitar meu espírito, quando o trabalho do corpo findou.

For then my thoughts, from far where I abide,

Pois então meus pensamentos, de longe onde resido,

Intend a zealous pilgrimage to thee,

Empreendem uma zelosa peregrinação até ti,

And keep my drooping eyelids open wide,

E mantêm minhas pálpebras caídas bem abertas,

Looking on darkness which the blind do see.

Contemplando a escuridão que os cegos enxergam.

Save that my soul's imaginary sight

Exceto que a visão imaginária da minha alma

Presents thy shadow to my sightless view,

Apresenta tua sombra ao meu olhar sem visão,

Which like a jewel (hung in ghastly night)

Que como uma joia (suspensa na noite lúgubre)

Makes black night beauteous, and her old face new.

Torna a negra noite bela, e seu velho rosto novo.

Lo thus by day my limbs, by night my mind,

Eis que assim de dia meus membros, de noite minha mente,

For thee, and for my self, no quiet find.

Por ti, e por mim mesmo, não encontram sossego.

How can I then return in happy plight

Como posso então retornar em estado feliz

That am debarred the benefit of rest?

Eu, que sou privado do benefício do repouso?

When day's oppression is not eased by night,

Quando a opressão do dia não é aliviada pela noite,

But day by night and night by day oppressed.

Mas o dia pela noite e a noite pelo dia oprimidos.

And each (though enemies to either's reign)

E cada um (embora inimigos do reino um do outro)

Do in consent shake hands to torture me,

Concordam em dar as mãos para me torturar,

The one by toil, the other to complain

Um pelo labor, o outro a lamentar

How far I toil, still farther off from thee.

Quão longe labuto, ainda mais distante de ti.

I tell the day to please him thou art bright,

Digo ao dia para agradá-lo que és radiante,

And dost him grace when clouds do blot the heaven:

E lhe concedes graça quando as nuvens encobrem o céu:

So flatter I the swart-complexioned night,

Assim lisonjeio a noite de tez escura,

When sparkling stars twire not thou gild'st the even.

Quando as estrelas cintilantes não brilham, tu douras a tarde.
