(单词翻译:双击或拖选)

I am a shell. From me you shall not hear

The splendid tramplings of insistent¹ drums，

The orbed gold of the viol's voice that comes，

Heavy with radiance， languorous² and clear.

Yet， if you hold me close against the ear，

A dim， far whisper rises clamorously，

The thunderous beat and passion of the sea，

The slow surge of the tides that drown the mere³.

Others with subtle hands may pluck the strings⁴，

Making even Love in music audible，

And earth one glory. I am but a shell

That moves， not of itself， and moving sings；

Leaving a fragrance⁵， faint as wine new-shed，

A tremulous murmur⁶ from great days long dead.
