46

I KNOW not from what distant time thou art ever coming nearer to meet me. Thy sun and stars can never keep thee hidden from me for aye.

In many a morning and eve thy footsteps have been heard and thy messenger has come within my heart and called me in secret.

I know not why to-day my life is all astir, and a feeling of tremulous joy is passing through my heart.

It is as if the time were come to wind up my work, and I feel in the air a faint smell of thy sweet presence.

我不知道从久远的什么时候，

我就一直走近来迎接你。

你的太阳和星辰永不能把你藏起使我看不见你。

在许多清晨和傍晚，我曾听见你的足音，

你的使者曾秘密地到我心里来召唤。

我不知道为什么今天我的生活完全激动了，

一种狂欢的感觉穿过了我的心。

这就像结束工作的时间已到，

我感觉到在空气中有你光降的微馨。
