海之歌

午夜，大海從夢中醒來，

遙遠遼闊的海灘爍石閃閃，

我聽見漲潮的第一聲海浪，

在綿延無阻地前進；

寂靜的深海處有一個聲音，

神秘地疊加著，

如同山間瀑布飛瀉而下，

又如峭壁密林中狂風呼嘯。

靈的海潮的沖動，

時常襲來，從未知，

以及令人望而卻步的孤獨；

我們自詡的靈感，

就是對超出我們理智和控制的事物的，

神圣預示和預知。

The sea awoke at midnight from its sleep，

And round the pebbly beaches far and wide，

I heard the first wave of the rising tide，

Rush onward with uninterrupted sweep；

A voice out of the silence of the deep，

A sound mysteriously multiplied，

As of a cataract from the mountain’s side，

Or roar of winds upon a wooded steep.

So comes to us at times， from the unknown，

And inaccessible solitudes of being，

The rushing of the sea-tides of the soul;

And inspirations， that we deem our own，

Are some divine of foreshadowing and foreseeing，

Of things beyond our reason or control.
