I came to your shore as a stronger, I lived in your houses as a guest,I leave your door as a friend,my earth. 大地呀,我到你岸上时是一个陌生人,住在你屋内的是一个宾客,离开你的门时是一个朋友。
I have seen thee as the half-awakened child sees his mother in the dusk of the dawn and then smiles and sleeps again. 我看见你,像那半醒的婴孩在黎明的微光里看见他的母亲,于是微笑而又睡去了。

They light their own lamps and sing their own words in their temples. But the birds sing thy name in thine own morning light, - for thy name is joy. 他们点了他们自己的灯,在他们的寺院内,吟唱他们自己的话语。 但是小鸟们却在你的晨光中,唱着你的名字—因为你的名字便是快乐。
