Will you glimmer on the sea?

你会在海上闪烁吗？

Will you fling your spear-head

你会把矛头

On the shore

投到岸上吗？

What note shall we pitch?

我们又该报以哪个音符？

We have a song, 

我们有一支歌

On the bank we share our arrows;

我们在岸上分享箭镞

The loosed string tells our note:

松弛的箭弦泄露我们的音调：

O flight,

噢，快跑吧，

bring her swiftly to our song.

快把她带到歌声里

She is great,

她如此巍峨

We measure her by the pine trees.

我们得用松树量身
