凝视那些星星！看啊，抬头看看那片天空！

Look at the stars! look, look up at the skies!

哦，看那所有的火焰精灵坐在空中！

   O look at all the fire-folk sitting in the air!

那明亮的城堡，那里环绕着圆形的堡垒！

   The bright boroughs, the circle-citadels there!

在昏暗的树林里，钻石般的深处！小精灵的眼睛！

Down in dim woods the diamond delves! the elves'-eyes!

灰色的草地，寒冷的地方，黄金，甚至是流动的黄金！

The grey lawns cold where gold, where quickgold lies!

风吹过白楸树！在闪烁的火光中，空中轻盈的白杨树！

   Wind-beat whitebeam! airy abeles set on a flare!

被惊吓的鸽子如雪花从农场院子里飞起！

   Flake-doves sent floating forth at a farmyard scare!

啊，没关系！这一切都是一种买卖，一切都是一种奖赏。

Ah well! it is all a purchase, all is a prize.

那么就买吧！就出价吧！— 什么？— 祈祷，耐心，施舍，誓言。

Buy then! bid then! — What? — Prayer, patience, alms, vows.

看，看看：五月的混乱，就像果园上的树枝！

Look, look: a May-mess, like on orchard boughs!

看！三月的花开，像是黄柳上点缀的花朵！

   Look! March-bloom, like on mealed-with-yellow sallows!

这些的确是谷仓；屋内是储藏的地方，

These are indeed the barn; withindoors house

那些美丽的围栏将配偶们圈住，

The shocks. This piece-bright paling shuts the spouse

基督回家，基督与他的母亲以及所有圣人都在其中。

   Christ home, Christ and his mother and all his hallows.
