From naked stones of agony

我将以剧痛的裸露石块

I will build a house for me;

为自己造一座居所起来；

As a mason all alone

全然独自如一个石匠，

I will raise it, stone by stone,

我将它造就，石砖着石砖。

And every stone where I have bled

每一块石头上我洒下血滴

Will show a sign of dusky red.

都将显出黯红的印迹。

I have not gone the way in vain,

我走过这路并非徒劳无功，

For I have good of all my pain;

因我得益于全部苦痛；

My spirit's quiet house will be

我曾一一踏踩，造起我寂静

Built of naked stones I trod

灵魂居所的裸露的石块，

On roads where I lost sight of God.

就在我的路途曾迷失于主外。
