His Dream	他的夢
I swayed upon the gaudy stern	我在那華美的船尾
The butt-end of a steering-oar,	搖櫓，
And saw wherever I could turn	希圖避開
A crowd upon a shore.	岸上的人群。
And though I would have hushed the crowd,	我本該，使大家安靜下來，
There was no mother's son but said,	但無人不在議論著：
‘What is the figure in a shroud	“有華美的尸衾鋪在船板的床上
Upon a gaudy bed?'	那尸衾下面藏著什么？”
And after running at the brim	沿著岸邊奔跑啊，
Cried out upon that thing beneath	對那尸衾下威嚴的形體
‘It had such dignity of limb'	高聲呼叫
By the sweet name of Death.	甜蜜的死神的名號。
Though I'd my finger on my lip,	我的手指雖然抑住了唇，
What could I but take up the song?	但還是唱出了這首歌謠。
And running crowd and gaudy ship	而奔跑的人群和華麗的船兒
Cried out the whole night long,	整個夜晚都不住地喊叫，
Crying amid the glittering sea,	喊叫在海浪的粼光里，
Naming it with ecstatic breath,	喊叫在狂熱的氣息里，
Because it had such dignity,	在那威嚴的形體之前
By the sweet name of Death.	喊叫死神的甜美的名字。
