God in His temple of stars

waits for man to bring him his lamp.

but himself who serves all.

不是他的仆役，

而是為眾人服務(wù)的

神明自己。

God honoured me with his fight

when I was rebellious,

He ignored me when I was languid.

當(dāng)我桀驁不屈，

God honours me when I work,

He loves me when I sing.

當(dāng)我勞作，

神明賜我美譽(yù)，

From the solemn gloom of the temple

children run out to sit in the dust,

God watches them play

and forgets the priest.

when God comes to ask gifts of him.

a Titan's ever crushed by its own existence.

the spirit of life is many.

When God is dead religion becomes one.

神明死去，

宗教便合為一體。

as one large majestic moment.

does not boast of its length of years

but of the scintillating point of its moment.

The inner world rounded in my life like a fruit,

matured in joy and sorrow,

will drop into the darkness of the original soil

for some further course of creation.

My faith in truth, my vision of the perfect,

help thee, Master, in thy creation.

主上啊，我對(duì)真理的信念，

還有對(duì)完美的領(lǐng)悟，

幫助你創(chuàng)造了萬(wàn)物。
