To see the world in a grain of sand                            一颗沙中看出一个世界

And a heaven in a wild flower                                     一朵花里看出一座天堂

Hold infinity in the palm of your hand                       把无限放在你的手掌上

And eternity in an hour                                                把永恒在一刹那间收藏

A truth that 's told with bad intent                             当真理被恶意利用时

Beats all the lies you can invent                                 比一切臆造的谎言狰狞

It is right it should be so                                              现实本来就这样

Man was made for joy and woe                                  人生来就要面对快乐和悲惨

And when this we rightly known                               只要能明了这一点

Through the world we safely go                                 我们就不会再受伤害

Joy and woe are woven fine                                        将快乐和忧伤编织

A clothing for the soul divine                                     披在我神圣的心上

The poor man's farthing is worth more                      穷人手里的一个铜板

Than all the gold on Afric's shore                              抵得上非洲海岸的所有黄金

One mite wrung from labour's hands                         从劳动者手里砸取的一丁点钱

Shall buy and sell the miser's lands                           能买的下守财奴的所有土地

He who doubts from what he sees                             如果不相信自己的眼睛

Will ne'er believe , do what you please                     将永远不懂得去信任，请随心而行

If the Sun & Moon should doubt                              如果太阳和月亮心存猜疑

They'd immediately go out                                         它们将会转瞬消失

To be in a passion you good may do                       被激情围绕就能拥有美好

But no good if a passion is in you                            情欲攻心则会迷失自我

Every night and every morn                                      每一个夜晚，每一个清晨

Some to misery are born                                             有人生来就为不幸伤神

Every morn and every night                                      每一个清晨，每一个夜晚

Some are born to sweet delight                                 有人生来就被幸福拥抱

Every morn and every night                                      每一个清晨，每一个夜晚

Some are born to endless Night                                有人生来就被长夜围绕

We are led to believe a lie                                          如果不是亲眼所见

When we see not through the Eye                           我们就会相信谎言

Which was born in a night to perish in a night      谎言在黑夜里生灭

When the soul slept in beams of Light                    灵魂在光芒中休眠

God appears & God is light                                       对挣扎在黑暗中的人

To those poor souls who dwell in night                上帝散发出光明

But does a human form display                               对生活在白昼的人

To those who dwell in realms of day                      上帝幻化为人性
