John Donne - A Hymn to God the Father 汉译

  Which was my sin, though it were done before?

Wilt Thou forgive that sin through which I run,

  And do run still, though still I do deplore?

When Thou hast done, Thou hast not done;

  For I have more.

Wilt Thou forgive that sin by which I have won

  Others to sin, and made my sins their door?

Wilt Thou forgive that sin which I did shun

  A year or two, but wallow’d in a score?

When Thou hast done, Thou hast not done;

  For I have more.

I have a sin of fear, that when I’ve spun

  My last thread, I shall perish on the shore;

But swear by Thyself that at my death Thy Son

  Shall shine as He shines now and heretofore:

And having done that, Thou hast done;

  I fear no more.
