“我如今是个阴魂了，唉！唉！
在人类天性的边缘上孤孤单单
居住着：我独自吟唱神圣的弥撒，
生命的细小声音在我周围鸣响，
正午时分光洁的蜜蜂飞过田野，
好多礼拜堂的钟声在报时辰，
使我彻骨痛苦：这些声音对我变得
陌生了，而你是在遥远遥远的人间。

"I am a shadow now, alas! alas!
Upon the skirts of human-nature dwelling
Alone: I chant alone the holy mass,
While little sounds of life are round me knelling,
And glossy bees at noon do fieldward pass,
And many a chapel bell the hour is telling,
Paining me through: those sounds grow strange to me,
And thou art distant in Humanity.
