我推想，大地是短暂的

我推想，大地是短暂的——

而苦痛，很绝对——

许多人受伤，

但，又将如何？

我推想，人终有一死——

最蓬勃的生机

亦无法免于腐朽，

但，又将如何？

我推想，在天堂——

会有，几分公平——

新的平等，被赋予——

但，又将如何？

I reason, Earth is short

I reason, Earth is short—

And Anguish—absolute—

And many hurt,

But, what of that?

I reason, we could die—

The best Vitality

Cannot excel Decay,

But, what of that?

I reason, that in Heaven—

Somehow, it will be even—

Some new Equation, given—

But, what of that?
