[00:00.0000]	作曲 : Benjamin Britten
[00:02.60]	When most I wink, then do mine eyes best see,
[00:19.62]	For all the day they view things unrespected;
[00:33.01]	But when I sleep, in dreams they look on thee,
[00:43.43]	And, darkly bright, are bright in dark directed.
[01:00.15]	Then thou, whose shadow shadows doth make bright,
[01:16.53]	How would thy shadow’s form form happy show
[01:24.33]	To the clear day with thy much clearer light,
[01:33.85]	When to unseeing eyes thy shade shines so!
[01:48.11]	How would, I say, mine eyes be blessed made
[01:59.82]	By looking on thee in the living day,
[02:12.16]	When in dead night thy fair imperfect shade
[02:29.69]	Through heavy sleep on sightless eyes doth stay!
[02:59.60]	All days are nights to see till I see thee,
[03:25.38]	And nights bright days when dreams do show thee me
