只要我尚存一息，

死亡便无能为力，

我的桂冠祂不能触及，

世间最骄傲地亦俯首行礼。

我的诗句所及之处，

再没有荒野，

没有黄沙漫漫的正午，

唯有无边的六月，

寒霜永不降临，

繁花似锦。

天使啊，请歌唱，

唱出我谱写的非凡乐章。

圣徒啊，为何战栗。

是否为了我璀璨的诗句，

想要领略这样天国光耀的狂欢？

——来吧，戴上我的桂冠！

For this - accepted Breath -

Through it - compete with Death -

The fellow cannot touch this Crown -

By it - my title take -

Ah, what a royal sake

To my necessity - stooped down!

No Wilderness - can be

Where this attendeth me -

No Desert Noon -

No fear of frost to come

Haunt the perennial bloom -

But Certain June!

Get Gabriel - to tell - the royal syllable -

Get Saints - with new - unsteady tongue -

To say what trance below

Most like their glory show -

Fittest the Crown!
