太阳俯身——俯得那么低，

群山迎着他把脚尖踮起。

俯身的太阳那么地不经意，

踮着脚的群山却屏住了呼吸。

暮光一点点踏上窗格，

脚步越来越沉，

脚印越来越深，

直至将世界染成最深的紫色。

夜的军队随之变得拥挤，

人人欢喜，人人晋级，

人人把徽章擦得闪亮，

连我也感受到征服的刺激。

我终于从藏身的狭窄角落里一跃而起！

然而军队早已远去，我身边一片静寂。

The Sun kept stooping - stooping - low!

The Hills to meet him rose!

On his side, what Transaction!

On their side, what Repose!

Deeper and deeper grew the stain

Upon the window pane -

Thicker and thicker stood the feet

Until the Tyrian

Was crowded dense with Armies -

So gay, so Brigadier -

That I felt martial stirrings

Who once the Cockade wore -

Charged from my chimney corner -

But Nobody was there!
