(单词翻译:双击或拖选)

Steely stars and moon of brass², How mockingly you watch me pass！ You know as well as I how soon I shall be blind to stars and moon, Deaf to the wind in the hemlock tree, Dumb when the brown earth weighs on me.

With envious³ dark rage I bear, Stars, your cold complacent⁴ stare； Heart-broken in my hate look up, Moon, at your clear immortal⁵ cup, Changing to gold from dusky red —— Age after age when I am dead To be filled up with light, and then Emptied, to be refilled again.

What has man done that only he Is slave to death —— so brutally⁶ Beaten back into the earth Impatient for him since his birth？

Oh let me shut my eyes, close out The sight of stars and earth and be Sheltered a minute by this tree. Hemlock, through your fragrant⁷ boughs⁸ There moves no anger and no doubt, No envy of immortal things. The night-wind murmurs⁹ of the sea With veiled music ceaselessly, That to my shaken spirit sings. From their frail¹⁰ nest the robins¹¹ rouse, In your pungent¹² darkness stirred, Twittering a low drowsy¹³ word —— And me you shelter, even me. In your quietness you house The wind, the woman and the bird. You speak to me and I have heard：

If I am peaceful, I shall see Beauty's face continually； Feeding on her wine and bread I shall be wholly comforted, For she can make one day for me Rich as my lost eternity¹⁴.
