Lord, it is time. The summer was too long.　　

主: 是时候了。夏日曾经辉煌。

Lay your shadow on the sundials now,　　

将你的影子在日晷上铺展，

and through the meadow let the winds throng.　　

并让风在原野上纵放。

Ask the last fruits to ripen on the vine;　　

要让最后的果实熟饱;

give them further two more summer days　　

再给两天南方的时光，

to bring about perfection and to raise　　

催促它们圆满，并将

the final sweetness in the heavy wine.　　

最后的甘甜化入酒醪。

Whoever has no house now will establish none,　　

此时没有房屋的，再不会兴建;

whoever lives alone now will live on long alone,　　

此时孤单一人的，将长久独身，

will waken, read, and write long letters,　　

将会无眠，读书，写长长的信，

wander up and down the barren paths　　

将会在那道路上东西辗转，

the parks expose when the leaves are blown.

无休止地徘徊，伴着落叶纷纷。
