When death comes and whisper to me,“Thy days are ended,”let me say to him,“I haved lived in love and not in mere time.” He will ask,“Will thy songs remain?” I shall say, “I know not,but this I know that often when I sang,I found my eternity.” 当死神茬临并对我耳语“你生之时日到了尽头”,让我这样回答他:“我已生存在爱中而并非在时间里。” 他会问:“你的诗歌是否能长存?” 我会说:“我不知道,但我深知每当我吟诵时,我即得以永生。”
