J. Thomson - A Requiem 汉译

Thou hast lived in pain and woe,<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

Thou has lived in grief and fear;

Now thine heart can dread no blow,

Now thine eyes can shed no tear:

  Storms round us shall beat and rave;

  Thou art sheltered in the grave.

Thou for long, long years hast borne,

Bleeding through life’s wilderness,

Heavy loss and wounding scorn;

Now thine heart is burdenless:

  Vainly rest for ours we crave;

  Thine is quiet in the grave.

We must toil with pain and care,

We must front tremendous Fate,

We must fight with dark Despair,

Thou dost dwell n solemn state:

  Couched triumphant, calm and brave,

  In the ever-holy grave.
