Out of the Rolling Ocean the Crowd  

Out of the rolling ocean the crowd a drop gently to me,

Whispering I love you, before long I die,

I have travel’d a long way merely to look on you to touch you,

For I could not die till I once look’d on you,

For I fear’d I might afterward loss you.

 

Now we have met, we have look'd, we are safe,

Return in peace to the ocean my love,

I too am part of that ocean my love, we are not so much separated,

Behold the great rondure, the cohesion of all, how perfect!

But as for me, for you, the irresistible sea is to separate us,

As for an hour carrying us diverse, yet cannot carry us diverse forever ;

Be not impatient - a little space - know you I salute the air,

the ocean and the land,

Every day at sundown for your dear sake my love.

 

从茫茫人海里,一滴水珠向我轻轻走来，

她对我低语:我爱你,我不久就要死去，

我曾经奔波迢迢万里,只为寻你,亲近你，

因为我不见你我不死心，

因为我怕以后会失去了你。

 

现在我们已然相逢,相见,心愿已了，

我的爱,乖乖地回到大海去吧，

我的爱,我也是那沧海的一粟,我们相隔不算太远，

看那,这伟大的圆环,万物都在这里归于一 源,多么完美！

可是对我,对你,这不可抗拒的大海却分隔了我们，

使我们分离,也只是暂时分离,绝不能使我 们永远分离；

不要心焦只为这一点距离只要你心中知道,每天在黄昏日落之际，

为了你,我的爱,我会向天空,海洋和大地敬礼。
