花呀，你长在墙缝里，

Flower in the crannied wall,

我把你摘出了墙缝，

I pluck you out of the crannies,

在这儿连根带叶地拿在手中，

I hold you here, root and all, in my hand,

小小的花呀要是 我能够弄懂

Little flower — but if I could understand

你根茎枝叶和你的全部含义，

What you are, root and all, and all in all,

就懂得了上帝和人。

I should know what God and man is.
