你我千万不可亵渎那一个字, 别忘了在上帝跟前起的誓。 我不仅要你最柔软的柔情, 蕉衣似的永远裹着我的心; 我要你的爱有纯钢似的强, 在这流动的生里起造一座墙; 任凭秋风吹尽满园的黄叶, 任凭白蚁蛀烂千年的画壁; 就使有一天霹雳震翻了宇宙,—— 也震不翻你我“爱墙”内的自由!

Build A Wall Xu Zhimo
You and I must never
desecrate that word. Let us not forget our vow
before God. I want your most tender love To wrap around my heart like
plantain peel And your love as strong as
pure steel To build a wall in the flux
of life. Let the autumn wind cover
the garden with sere leaves, Let termites eat away carved
pillars a thousand years old. Even if a lightning bolt
shattered the universe one day, It could not shatter our
freedom behind the wall of love.
August 1925
