不要停留在教堂的墙壁上
阳光已经倾洒 圣洁与温良
我的脚步虽然已经落寞
但圣者们定会护你不受损伤

不要因为午日来临而退缩
阴凉是午夜最受欢迎的来客
这些台阶虽然早已冷落
我们很快长眠于此 不再反侧

亡者葬于我们前进的路途
他们安睡于自己的坟墓
试问世人为什么害怕走过
那条通向未来的道路

Start not! upon the minster wall,
Sunshine is shed in holy calm;
And, lonely though my footsteps fall,
The saints shall shelter thee from harm.

Shrink not if it be summer noon;
This shadow should nights welcome be.
These stairs are steep, but landed soon
We all rest us long and quietly.

What though our path be o'er the dead?
They slumber soundly in the tomb;
And why should mortals fear to tread
Pathway to their future home?

艾米莉.勃朗特(Emily Bronte)
