Henry Wadsworth Longfellow：《A Psalm of Life》

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow：1807-1882

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 are, to dust returnest,
Was not spoken of the soul.

Not enjoyment, and not sorrow,
Is our destined and our way;
But to act, that each 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, however pleasant!
Let the dead past bury its dead!
Act, act in the living Present!
Heart within, and God overhead!

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 over 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.

亨利*沃兹沃思*朗费罗：《生活的赞美诗》

不要用哀伤的语气告诉我，
生活只是一场空洞的梦！
沉睡的灵魂好像在死去，
世界似乎在逃离我的眼睛。

生活是真实的！生活是炽烈的！
我不需要等待甚么死亡；
人，生于尘泥，归于尘泥，
但，我的精神，与世长存。

快乐或是忧伤，
都不是我的栖息地；
行动起来，坚持下去，在每个黎明来临
我觉得比昨天更有力气。

学海无涯，光阴荏苒，
任凭我心激荡，勇敢而顽强，
无奈它，也是生命之鼓，
同时在奏响葬礼的乐章。

在人生广阔的战场上，
在生命的篝火旁，
我不做任人宰割的羔羊，
我是横刀立马的英雄。

不要相信虚幻的未来，无论它最终多美好！
就让僵冷的往昔把它自己埋葬！
行动，在血淋淋的现实里行动起来，
揣一颗真心，有苍天在上！

先哲的路告诉我，
我可以让自己的生命崇高而辉煌，
当我离开人间，
岁月虽逝而足迹犹响。

我的足迹，留给我的兄弟，
我那跋涉风雨里的兄弟，
我那望不见前路的兄弟，
因为曾经有我，他有了阳光，有了前路。

为了我，和我的兄弟，我要呐喊，我要战斗，
我要迎接命运的一切挑战；
拼搏！前进！
在血与火中，我学会了激昂，我学会了坚忍。
