Glory be to God for dappled things –

荣耀归与上帝，为那斑斓万物 —

   For skies of couple-colour as a brinded cow;

    双色天空犹如奶牛花背；

      For rose-moles all in stipple upon trout that swim;

       游动鳟鱼身披玫瑰花点；

Fresh-firecoal chestnut-falls; finches’ wings;

栗树掉火碳；金雀展飞翼；

   Landscape plotted and pieced – fold, fallow, and plough;

     田野星罗棋布 — 山洼，闲田与耕地

      And áll trádes, their gear and tackle and trim.

       各行各业，各种装备和修具。

All things counter, original, spare, strange;

一切相对，独特，稀有，新奇之物；

   Whatever is fickle, freckled (who knows how?)

   变化多端，斑驳陆离(有谁通晓呢？）

      With swift, slow; sweet, sour; adazzle, dim;

     或快或慢，或酸或甜，或暗或明；

He fathers-forth whose beauty is past change:

上帝创造美丽万物，超越时空：

                                Praise him.

                 颂赞归于他。
