(单词翻译:双击或拖选)

As one who sails upon a wide, blue sea
Far out of sight of land, his mind intent
Upon the sailing of his little boat,
On tightening¹ ropes and shaping fair his course,
Hears suddenly, across the restless sea,
The rhythmic² striking of some towered clock,
And wakes from thoughtless idleness to time:
Time, the slow pulse which beats eternity³!
So through the vacancy⁴ of busy life
At intervals⁵ you cross my path and bring
The deep solemnity of passing years.
For you I have shed bitter tears, for you
I have relinquished⁶ that for which my heart
Cried out in selfish longing⁷. And to-night
Having just left you, I can say: "'T is well.
Thank God that I have known a soul so true,
So nobly just, so worthy⁸ to be loved!"
