As from the face of heaven the shattered clouds
上天那張烏云斑駁的臉
Tumultuous rove, the interminable sky
狂風漫卷，呼號彌長
Sublimer swells, and o'er the world expands
更崇高的東西在膨大，覆蓋世界的是
A purer azure.
更純凈的蔚藍。
Through the lightened air
透過輕薄的空氣
A higher luster and a clearer calm,
更高處熠熠生輝，更清澈的寧靜
Diffusive, tremble; while, as if in sign
擴散，顫抖，仿佛危險的過去
Of danger past, a glittering robe of joy,
一絲跡象，光輝燦爛的歡快的長袍
Set off abundant by the yellow ray,
黃色光束變幻出色彩闌珊，
Invests the fields; and nature smiles revived.
傾灑在田野上，大自然在微笑中復蘇重生。
T is beauty all, and grateful song around,
這就是美的全部，感激的歌兒在回蕩，
Joined to the low of kine, and numerous bleat
整個三葉草覆蓋的山谷，
Of flocks thick-nibbling through the clovered vale:
低頭吃草的黃牛群，數不盡的小羊咩咩叫，
And shall the hymn be marred by thankless man,
圣歌被那些徒勞無功的人所玷污，
Most favored; who, with voice articulate,
絕大多數受到眷顧；那些聲音洪亮的人
Should lead the chorus of this lower world?
能帶領這個墮落的世界齊聲合唱嗎？
Shall man, so soon forgetful of the Hand
很快忘了上帝之手的人
That hushed the thunder, and serenes the sky,
能讓雷聲寂滅，讓天空湛藍，
Extinguished fed that spark the tempest waked,
熄滅那能喚起暴風雨的火花，
That sense of powers exceeding far his own,
力量的感覺遍布他身上，
Ere yet his feeble heart has lost its fears?
他那脆弱的心已經不再恐懼？
