Glory be to God for dappled things –

荣耀归属我主，为那驳杂的万物——

   For skies of couple-colour as a brinded cow;

     为那花牝斑纹的二色苍穹；

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

          为着泳中鳟鱼的点点玫瑰痣；

Fresh-firecoal chestnut-falls; finches’ wings;

新炭色的栗树皮，燕雀的翅；

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

     星罗棋布的田块：山地、闲地、耕地；

      And áll trádes, their gear and tackle and trim.

          形态各异的器物：齿轮、滑车、配件。

All things counter, original, spare, strange;

所有反常、独特、无用及奇绝之物；

   Whatever is fickle, freckled (who knows how?)

     所有的变幻之物，鬼使神差地——

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

          都掺杂着缓急、甜酸与晦明；

He fathers-forth whose beauty is past change:

                                Praise him.

我主创造万物，永恒美满；

当将祂的荣光赞颂。
