I Love All Beauteous Things

Robert Bridges

I love all beauteous things,
I seek and adore them;
God hath no better praise,
And man in his hasty days
Is honoured for them.

I too will something make,
And Joy in the making;
Altho’ to-morrow it seem
Like the empty words of a dream
Remembered on walking.


我愛所有美的事物

我愛所有美的事物,
我追尋並且崇拜它們;
上帝沒有更偉大的榮耀,
而人在匆忙一生中
為它們感到榮幸.

我也將創造某個事物,
在創造中歡欣;
雖然明天它看起來
像是一些無意的夢話
常醒來時憶起.
