A Psalm of Life
Life is but an empty dream!
For the soul is dead that slumbers,
And things are not what they seem.
Life is real! Life is earnest!
And the grave is not its goal;
Dust thou art, to dust returnest,
Was not spoken of the soul.
Not enjoyment, and not sorrow,
Is our destined end or way?
But to act, that each tomorrow
Finds us farther than today.
Art is long, and time is fleeting,
And our hearts, though stout and brave,
Still, like muffled drums, are beating
Funeral marches to the grave.
In the world’s broad field of battle,
In the bivouac of life,
Be not like dumb, driven cattle!
Be a hero in the strife!
Trust no future, however pleasant!
Let the dead past bury its dead!
Act-act in the living present!
Heart within, and god overhead!
人生頌
朗費(fèi)羅
人生不過是一場(chǎng)幻夢(mèng)！
靈魂睡著了，就等于死了，
事物的真相與外表不同?！?br />
人生是真切的！人生是實(shí)在的！
它的歸宿決不是荒墳；
你本是塵土，必歸于塵土，
這是指軀殼，不是指靈魂
我們命定的目標(biāo)和道路
不是享樂，也不是受苦；
而是行動(dòng)，在每個(gè)明天
都超越今天，跨出新步。
智藝無窮，時(shí)光飛逝；
這顆心，縱然勇敢堅(jiān)強(qiáng)，
也只如鼙鼓，悶聲敲動(dòng)著，
一下又一下，向墳地送喪?！?br />
世界是一片遼闊的戰(zhàn)場(chǎng)，
人生是到處扎寨安營；
莫學(xué)那聽人驅(qū)策的啞畜，
做一個(gè)威武善戰(zhàn)的英雄！
別指望將來，不管它多可愛！
把已逝的過去永久掩埋！
行動(dòng)吧－－趁著活生生的現(xiàn)在！
心中有赤心，頭上有真宰！
