Splendor in the Grass

What though the radiance which was once so bright. Be now for ever taken form my sight. Though nothing can bring back the hour. Of splendor in the grass. Of glory in the flower. We will grieve not. Rather find strength in what remains behind. In the primal sympathy. Which having been must ever be. In the smoothing thoughts that spring. Out of human suffering. In the faith that looks through death. In years that bring the philosophic mind.

從前的光輝如此燦爛，而今卻永遠離開我的視線，沒有什麼能將逝去的時光帶回，草原一片欣欣向榮，百花盛開，我們卻不會悲傷，而發現持續背後的力量仍然一直存在。它正存於生命原初的憐憫，那是永遠的存在於本性之中，源源不絕地從人們苦難的溫柔寬慰之中生起，存於穿越死亡的堅定信念，存於年歲歷練所帶來的哲思之心。

總是帶予我安慰之詩，我最喜歡的，從還是年紀很小的時候。
