Oh! blest be thine unbroken light！
That watched me as a seraph's eye,
And stood between me and the night,
For ever shining sweetly nigh.

And when the cloud upon us came,
Which strove to blacken o'er thy ray—
Then purer spread its gentle flame,
And dashed the darkness all away.

Still may thy spirit dwell on mine,
And teach it what to brave or brook—
There's more in one soft word of thine
Than in the world's defied rebuke.

Thou stood'st as stands a lovely tree,
That still unbroke, though gently bent,
Still waves with fond fidelity
Its boughs above a monument.

哦！多亏有你不间断的光！
像天使的眼睛，注视着我，
站在我与黑夜之间，
永远发出呵护的光芒。

当头上的乌云袭来，
试图遮挡你的光芒，
然而你柔和的火苗更加纯净，
把周围的黑暗全部赶跑。

愿你我的灵魂依偎在一起，
告诉我何时勇敢，何时又该控制。
你一句温柔的话语就可抵消，
我在世界上受到的亵渎的指控。

你站在那儿，像一棵高贵的树，
没有折断，尽管有些弯曲，
依然挥舞着忠贞，慈爱，
辉映在纪念碑之上。

The winds might rend—the skies might pour,
But there thou wert—and still wouldst be
Devoted in the stormiest hour
To shed thy weeping leaves o'er me.

But thou and thine shall know no blight,
Whatever fate on me may fall;
For Heaven in sunshine will requite
The kind—and thee the most of all.

狂风将袭，暴雨将至，
过去你在那儿，
在暴风雨肆虐之时，
你依然在那儿，
哭泣的绿叶洒落我全身。

不管什么样的命运降临在我的头上，
你我之间也不存在毁坏；
阳光普照的天堂会奖赏
慈爱的人——你是最好的！
