　　快乐王子的双眼充满了泪水，泪珠顺着他金黄的脸颊淌了下来。王子的脸在月光下美丽无比，小燕子顿生怜悯之心。

　　“你是谁？”他问对方。

　　“我是快乐王子。”

　　“那么你为什么哭呢？”燕子又问，“你把我的身上都打湿了。”

　　“以前在我有颗人心而活着的时候，”雕像开口说道，“我并不知道眼泪是什么东西，因为那时我住在逍遥自在的王宫里，那是个哀愁无法进去的地方。白天人们伴着我在花园里玩，晚上我在大厅里领头跳舞。沿着花园有一堵高高的围墙，可我从没想到去围墙那边有什么东西，我身边的一切太美好了。我的臣仆们都叫我快乐王子，的确，如果欢愉就是快乐的话，那我真是快乐无比。我就这么活着，也这么死去。而眼下我死了，他们把我这么高高地立在这儿，使我能看见自己城市中所有的丑恶和贫苦，尽管我的心是铅做的，可我还是忍不住要哭。”
