啊，充分利用我們還能花費的東西，在我們也歸于塵土之前；塵土歸于塵土，躺在塵土之下，沒有酒，沒有歌，沒有歌手，也沒有——盡頭！
The Worldly Hope men set their Hearts upon Turns Ashes—or it prospers; and anon, Like Snow upon the Desert's dusty Face, Lighting a little hour or two—is gone.
人們心中所寄予的世俗希望化為灰燼——或者繁榮；然后，就像沙漠塵埃上的雪，照亮一兩個小時——然后消失。
A Book of Verses underneath the Bough, A Jug of Wine, a Loaf of Bread—and Thou Beside me singing in the Wilderness— Oh, Wilderness were Paradise enow!
在樹枝下的一本詩集，一壺酒，一塊面包——還有你在我身旁在荒野中歌唱——哦，荒野就是天堂！
The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ, Moves on: nor all thy Piety nor Wit Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line, Nor all thy Tears wash out a Word of it.
The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ, Moves on: nor all thy Piety nor Wit Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line, Nor all thy Tears wash out a Word of it.
移動的手指在書寫；一旦寫下，便繼續(xù)前行：無論是你的虔誠還是智慧，都無法引誘它回來取消半行，你的淚水也無法洗去一個字。
