歌词与中文翻译
Like as the waves make towards the pebbled shore
就像波浪涌向卵石海岸一样
So do our minutes hasten to their end
时间也陷入泥沙里赶向死亡
Each changing place with that which goes before
匆匆过往里的每一场错位
In sequent toil all forwards do contend
我们都在争先恐后的长大
Nativity, once in the main of light
耶稣降生，成为光明的主宰
Crawls to maturity, wherewith being crown'd
从匍匐到成熟，一切都在他的加冕之下
Crooked eclipses 'gainst his glory fight
而扭曲的天神开始与他的荣耀抗争
And Time, that gave
赐下时间予永恒
doth now his gift confound
溃败了他的王朝
Time doth transfix the flourish set on youth
时间的确使青春焕发出灿烂的光彩
And delves the parallels in beauty's brow
挖掘眉间美额的共通之处
Feeds on the rarities of nature's truth
滋养着自然真理的凤毛麟角
And nothing stands but for his scythe to mow
万物都屈服于他无情的镰刀
And yet to times in hope my verse shall stand
你我之诗却仍寄望屹立不倒
Praising thy worth
歌颂人生的痛苦与你的价值
despite his cruel hand
只是 他罪恶的手上沾满了我们的回忆
