歌词
Hearing a white saint rave
听闻一个面色惨白的圣者
About a quintessential beauty
天花乱坠地嘉赏那
Visible only to the paragon heart,
只有完美心灵得以窥视的精萃之美。
I tried my sight on an apple-tree
我把目光投向一株
That for eccentric knob and wart
因遍生古怪突起和树疣
Had all my love.
而为我深爱的苹果树。
Without meat or drink I sat
我徒然坐着，无佳肴醇酒之享
Starving my fantasy down
使幻想饥馑而亡
To discover that metaphysical Tree which hid
去发现这隐藏的玄学之树（metaphysical，形而上学的）
From my worldling look its brilliant vein
以我世俗的眼光，自那粗劣树干的深处
Far deeper in gross wood
利斧也无法触及的深处
Than axe could cut.
发觉它那辉煌灿烂之脉络。
But before I might blind sense
但在我因目睹它无暇的灵魂
To see with the spotless soul,
失明之前，
Each particular quirk so ravished me
每个特别的怪癖都使我目眩神迷
Every pock and stain bulked more beautiful
每处痘痕和污点都绽放得无比绚丽
Than flesh of any body
甚于任意一具
Flawed by love's prints.
被爱的印记抹灭的躯体之鲜活。
Battle however I would
但无论如何，我都将为此斗争——
To break through that patchwork
树叶用巴别塔式的语言拌嘴和轻拂
Of leaves' bicker and whisk in babel tongues,
的缝补功夫。
Streak and mottle of tawn bark,
黄褐色树皮的条纹斑驳，
No visionary lightnings
没有水月镜花的浮光
Pierced my dense lid.
能穿透我迟钝的眼睑。
Instead, a wanton fit
相反，一阵无节制的痉挛
Dragged each dazzled sense apart
使所有迷醉的感官分崩离析
Surfeiting eye, ear, taste, touch, smell;
沉溺了双目，耳郭，味觉，触感，嗅闻；
Now, snared by this miraculous art,
现在，被这奇迹般的艺术诱捕，
I ride earth's burning carrousel
我乘着世界燃烧的旋转木马
Day in, day out,
日复一日，
And such grit corrupts my eyes
此番决心溶化了我的双眸
I must watch sluttish dryads twitch
我仿佛看见荒淫的德律阿得斯（德律阿得斯，希腊神话中的树神）
Their multifarious silks in the holy grove
在神圣的树林中拉扯他们的各色丝绸
Until no chaste tree but suffers blotch
直到没有一棵贞洁的树不受玷污，
Under flux of those seductive
恰在那赤红，翠绿与蔚蓝
Reds, greens, blues.
交织诱人的流溢之中。
