A psalm of life |
Herry Wadsworth Longfellow |
Tell me not in mournful numbers, |
Life is but an empty dream! |
For the soul is dead that slumbers |
And things are not what they seem. |
Life is real! Life is earnest! |
And the grave is not its goal; |
Dust thou art , to dust returnest, |
Was not spoken of the soul. |
Not enjoyment , and not sorrow, |
Is our destined and our way; |
But to act, |
That much to-morrow. |
Find us farther than to-day. |
Art is long , and time is fleeting. |
And our hearts , though stout and brave. |
Still , like muffled drums , are beating |
Funeral marches to the grave。 |
In the world’s broad field of battle, |
In the bivouac of Life, |
Be not like dumb,driven cattle! |
Be a hero in the strife! |
Trust no future.howe’er pleasant! |
Let the dead Past bury its dead! |
Act,act in the living Present! |
Heart within,and God O’erhead! |
Lives of great men all remind us |
We can make our lives sublime, |
And departing,leave behind us |
Footprints on the sands of time; |
Footprints that perhaps another, |
Sailing o’er life solemn main, |
A forlorn and shipwrecked brother, |
Seeing,shall take heart again, |
Let us,then,be up and doing, |
With a heart for any fate; |
Still achieving,still pursuing |
Learn to labour and to wait. |

人生礼颂 |
享利.沃兹渥斯.朗费罗 |
请别用哀伤的诗句对我讲; |
人生呵,无非是虚梦一场! |
因为沉睡的灵魂如死一般, |
事物的表里并不一样。 |
人生是实在的!人生是热烈的! |
人生的目标决不是坟墓; |
你是尘土,应归于尘土。 |
此话指的并不是我们的精神。 |
我们的归宿并不是快乐, |
也不是悲伤, |
实干 |
才是我们的道路, |
每天不断前进,蒸蒸蒸日上。 |
光阴易逝,而艺海无涯, |
我们的心哪——虽然勇敢坚强, |
却像被布蒙住的铜鼓, |
常把殡葬的哀乐擂响。 |
在这人生的宿营地, |
在这辽阔的世界战场, |
别做无言的牲畜任人驱赶, |
做一名英雄汉立马横枪! |
别相信未来,哪怕未来多么欢乐! |
让死去的往昔将死亡一切埋葬! |
上帝在上,我们胸怀勇气, |
行动吧———趁现在活着的好时光! |
伟人的生平使我们想起, |
我们能使自己的一生变得高尚! |
当我们辞别人间, |
能把足迹留在时间的流沙上, |
也许有个遭了船灾的苦难弟兄, |
他曾在庄严的人生大海中飘航, |
见到我们的脚印, |
又会满怀信心。 |
让我们起来干吧, |
下定决心,不管遭遇怎样; |
不断胜利,不断追求, |
要学会苦干和耐心等待。 |
