HOPE ｜ 希望作者：Emily Bronte ｜ 主播：Lydia Hope was but a timid friend;希望只是个羞怯的友伴，She sat without the grated den,她坐在我的囚牢之外，Watching how my fate would tend,以自私者的冷眼旁观Even as selfish-hearted men.观察我的命运的好歹。She was cruel in her fear;她因胆怯而如此冷酷。Through the bars one weary day,郁闷的一天，我透过铁栏，I looked out to see her there,想看到我的希望的面目，And she turned her face away!却见她立即背转了脸！Like a false guard, false watch keeping,像一个假看守在假意监视，Still in strife, she whispered peace;一面敌对一面又暗示和平；She would sing while I was weeping,当我哀泣时她吟唱歌词，If I listened, she would cease.当我静听她却噤口无声。False she was, and unrelenting;她心如铁石而且虚假。When my last joys strewed the ground,当我最后的欢乐落英遍地，Even Sorrow saw, repenting,见此悲惨的遗物四处抛撒Those sad relics scattered round;就连“哀愁”也遗憾不已；Hope, whose whisper would have given而希望，她本来能悄悄耳语Balm to all my frenzied pain,为痛苦欲狂者搽膏止痛，Stretched her wings, and soared to heaven,却伸展双翼向天堂飞去，Went, and ne'er returned again!一去不回，从此不见影踪。
