我爱一切美好的事物

我爱一切美好的事物
罗伯特·布里吉斯
我爱一切美好的事物
      我寻找并崇敬它们
上帝也没有更好的赞美
而人在他匆忙的一生中
      也因有它们而感到荣耀
我还要去创造
       并在此中感受快乐
尽管明天看上去
就像梦醒后回想起的
       空洞的字句
I Love all Beauteous Things
by Robert Bridges
I love all beauteous things,
      I seek and adore them;
God hath no better praise,
And man in his hasty days
      Is honoured for them.
I too will something make
      And joy in the making;
Altho’ to-morrow it seem
Like the empty words of a dream
      Remembered on waking.
