In desperate hope I go and search for her in all the corners of my room; I find her not.
在無望的希望中,我在房里的每一個角落找她;我找不到她。
My house is small and what once has gone from it can never be regained.
我的房子很小,一旦丟了東西就永遠(yuǎn)找不回來。
But infinite is thy mansion, my lord, and seeking her I have to come to thy door.
但是你的房子是無邊無際的,我的主,為著找她,我來到了你的門前。
I stand under the golden canopy of thine evening sky and I lift my eager eyes to thy face.
我站在你薄暮金色的天穹下,向你抬起渴望的眼。
I have come to the brink of eternity from which nothing can vanish---no hope, no happiness, no vision of a face seen through tears.
我來到了永恒的邊涯,在這里萬物不滅--無論是希望,是幸福,或是從淚眼中望見的人面。
Oh, dip my emptied life into that ocean, plunge it into the deepest fullness. Let me for once feel that lost sweet touch in the allness of the universe.
呵,把我空虛的生命浸到這海洋里罷,跳進(jìn)這最深的完滿里罷。讓我在宇宙的完整里,感覺一次那失去的溫馨的接觸罷。
