It is a beauteous evening, calm and free, 

这是一个美妙的黄昏，安详而从容， 

The holy time is quiet as a Nun 

神圣的时辰安静得像一位 

Breathless with adoration, the broad sun 

因崇敬而屏住呼吸的修女，醒目的太阳 

Is sinking down in its tranquility; 

正在这样的宁静中西沉； 

The gentleness of heaven broods o'er the Sea: 

天堂的柔和笼罩着海面 ： 

Listen! the mighty being is awake, 

听！强大的生命醒来了， 

And doth with his eternal motion make 

雷一样的声音在 

A sound like thunder--everlastingly; 

永不停息地滚动。 

Dear Child! dear Girl! that walkest with me here, 

亲爱的孩子！亲爱的姑娘！走到我身旁， 

If thou appear untouched by solemn thought, 

假如你没有被庄严的思想感动， 

Thy nature is not therefore less divine: 

那也无损于你圣洁的天性： 

Thou liest in Abraham's bosom all the year, 

你一直都待在亚伯拉罕的心里， 

And worship'st at the Temple's inner shrine, 

如同在神殿的中心朝拜， 

God being with thee when we know it not.

上帝出乎意料地与你同在。
