昔日，我没有人间的忧惧，

A slumber did my spirit seal;

 恬睡锁住了心魂；

 I had no human fears:

她有如灵物，漠然无感于

She seemed a thing that could not feel

 尘世岁月的侵寻。

 The touch of earthly years.

如今的她呢，不动，无力，

No motion has she now, no force;

 什么也不看不听；

 She neither hears nor sees;

天天和岩石树木一起，

Rolled round in earth's diurnal course,

 随地球旋转运行。

 With rocks, and stones, and trees.
