第二十四首

让世界象一把摺刀,把它的锋芒

Let the world's sharpness like a clasping knife

在自身敛藏,埋进在情的

上海龙凤shlf最新地址Shut in upon itself and do no harm

掌握、温柔的中心,而不再为害。

上海龙凤shlf最新地址In this close hand of Love, now soft and warm,

上海龙凤shlf最新地址让嗒的一声,刀子合上之后,

And let us hear no sound of human strife

上海龙凤shlf最新地址我们就此再听不见人世的争吵。

上海龙凤shlf最新地址After the click of the shutting. Life to life --

上海龙凤shlf最新地址的,我紧挨着你,生命贴恋着

I lean upon thee, Dear, without alarm,

生命,什么也不怕,我只觉得安全,

上海龙凤shlf最新地址And feel as safe as guarded by a charm

象有了神符的保护,世人的刀

Against the stab of worldlings, who if rife

怎么稠密也不能伤害毫发。我们

上海龙凤shlf最新地址Are weak to injure. Very whitely still

上海龙凤shlf最新地址生命中的素莲,依然能开出纯洁

The lilies of our lives may reassure

雪白的花朵;那底下的根,只仰赖

Their blossoms from their roots, accessible

上海龙凤shlf最新地址天降的甘露,从山头往上挺伸,

Alone to heavenly dews that drop not fewer:

高出世间的攀折。只有上帝,

上海龙凤shlf最新地址Growing straight, out of man's reach, on the hill.

上海龙凤shlf最新地址他赐我们富有,才能叫我们穷。

God only, who made us rich, can make us poor.
