这些美好不会消逝

  These Things Shall Never Die

                by Charles Dickens

              The pure.the bright,the beautiful,

              That stirred our hearts in youth,

              The impulses to wordless prayer,

              The dreams of love and truth;

              The longing after something's lost,

              The spirit's yearning cry,

              The striving after better hopes--

              These things can never die.

              The timid hand stretched forth to aid

              A brother in his need,

              A kindly word in grief's dark hour

              That proves a friend indeed;

              The plea for mercy softly breathed,

              When justice threatens nigh,

              The sorrow of a contrite heart--

              These things shall never die.

              Let nothing pass for every hand

              Must find some work to do;

              Lose not a chance to waken love--

              Be firm,and just ,and true;

              So shall a light that cannot fade

              Beam on thee from on high.

              And angel voices say to thee--

              These things shall never die.

              一切纯洁的,辉煌的,美丽的,

              强烈地震撼着我们年轻的心灵的,

              推动着我们做无言的祷告的,

              让我们梦想着爱与真理的;

              在失去后为之感到珍惜的,

              使灵魂深切地呼喊着的,

              为了更美好的梦想而奋斗着的--

              这些美好不会消逝。

              羞怯地伸出援助的手,

              在你的弟兄需要的时候,

              伤恸、困难的时候,一句亲切的话

              就足以证明朋友的真心;

              轻声地乞求怜悯,

              在审判临近的时候,

              懊悔的心有一种伤感--

              这些美好不会消逝。

              在人间传递温情

              尽你所能地去做;

              别错失了唤醒爱的良机--

              为人要坚定,正直,忠诚;

              因此上方照耀着你的那道光芒

              就不会消失。

              你将听到天使的声音在说--

              这些美好不会消逝。
