歌词
Be near me when my light is low,
请在我行将就木时靠近我
When the blood creeps and the nerves prick,
在血流缓慢、神经刺痛的时候
And tongle, and the heart is sick,
在无法呼吸、心脏病变的时候
And all the wheels of being slow.
在一切轮转变慢的时候
Be near me when the sensuous frame,
请在我沉沦苦海时靠近我
Is racked with pangs that conquer trust,
当我在真理被征服的痛苦中受尽折磨
And time a maniac, scattering dust,
在时间变得无序、灰尘被散播的时候
And life, a fury, slinging flame.
生命只是一团狂暴的火
Be near me when my faith is dry,
请在我信仰枯竭的时候靠近我
And men the flies of latter spring,
人群化作晚春的飞虫
That lay their eggs, and sting and sing,
产下虫卵，一面叮着一面唱着
And weave their petty cells and die.
在死前将小小的茧编织着
Be near me when I fade away,
请在我行将就木的时候靠近我
To point the term of human strife,
告知我生命陷入困顿的节点
And on the low dark verge of life,
在那个低矮阴沉的生命之缘
The twilight of eternal day.
在那个永恒之日的垂垂暮色
