宏伟得安宁的时辰

Moments of great calm,

跪在石头教堂的

Kneeling before an altar

木质祭台前，

Of wood in a stone church

夏日间，等候上帝

In summer, waiting for the God

传话；空气，寂静

To speak; the air a staircase

的一架梯；太阳的光芒

For silence; the sun’s light

环绕我，好似我正出演

Ringing me, as though I acted

一个伟大角色。听众们

A great rôle. And the audiences

凝神；所有挤近的

Still; all that close throng

灵魂都在等，就像我，

Of spirits waiting, as I,

为了那消息。

For the message.

　　　　开示我吧，上帝；

                         Prompt me, God;

但时机未到。当我传话，

But not yet. When I speak,

纵然是你使用我

Though it be you who speak

来传话，仍有些东西缺失了。

Through me, something is lost.

真义在那等候里。

The meaning is in the waiting.
