The Face of all the World is changed整个世界都已经改变

The face of all the world is changed,I think,
Since first I heard of the footsteps of thy soul
Move still, oh, still, beside me, as they stole
betwixt me and the dreadful outer brink
Of obvious death, where I, who thought to sink,
Was caught up into love, and taught the whole
Of life in a new rhythm. The cup of dole
God gave for baptism, I am fain to drink,
And praise its sweetness, Sweet, with thee anear.
The names of a country, heaven, are changed away
For where thou art or shalt be, there or here;
And this ...this lute and song...loved yesterday
(The singing angels know ) are only dear
Because thy name moves right in what they say.

我感到整个世界都改变了，
自从我第一次听到你灵魂的脚步渐渐靠近
从此在我身旁萦绕，穿行于我与死亡的可怕边界，
我以为注定要沉沦于此，
却被爱情所拯救，并以新的节奏传授全部的生命。
我欣然饮下上帝为洗礼所赐之酒，
赞颂它的甘甜，甘甜，是因为有你在身边。
只因你的存在与否，
人间和天堂的名字全都改变，
往日所珍惜的鲁特琴和歌声——
天使为证——永远是唯一的挚爱
因为你的名字就在那旋律中舒展。
