美好不會消逝

                                                                  The pure, the bright, the beautiful,
                                                                  That stirred our hearts in youth,
                                                                  The impulses to wordless prayer,
                                                                  The dreams of love and truth;
                                                                  The longing after something's lost,
                                                                  The spirit's yearning cry,
                                                                  The striving after better hopes-
                                                                  These things can never die.
                                                                  The timid hand stretched forth to aid
                                                                  A brother in his need,
                                                                  A kindly word in grief's dark hour
                                                                  That proves a friend indeed ;
                                                                  The plea for mercy softly breathed,
                                                                  When justice threatens nigh,
                                                                  The sorrow of a contrite heart-
                                                                  These things shall never die.
                                                                  Let nothing pass for every hand
                                                                  Must find some work to do;
                                                                  Lose not a chance to waken love-
                                                                  Be firm, and just, and true;
                                                                  So shall a light that cannot fade
                                                                  Beam on thee from on high.
                                                                  And angel voices say to thee---
                                                                  These things shall never die.

                                                               一切純潔的，輝煌的，美麗的,
                                                               強烈地震撼著我們年輕的心靈的,
                                                               推動著我們做無言的禱告的,
                                                               讓我們夢想著愛與真理的;
                                                               在失去后為之感到珍惜的,
                                                               使靈魂深切地呼喊著的,
                                                               為了更美好的夢想而奮斗著的-
                                                               這些美好不會消逝。
                                                               羞怯地伸出援助的手，
                                                               在你的弟兄需要的時候，
                                                               傷慟、困難的時候，一句親切的話
                                                               就足以證明朋友的真心；
                                                               輕聲地乞求憐憫，
                                                               在審判臨近的時候，
                                                               懊悔的心有一種傷感--
                                                               這些美好不會消逝。
                                                               在人間傳遞溫情，
                                                               盡你所能地去做；
                                                               別錯失去了喚醒愛的良機-----
                                                               為人要堅定，正直，忠誠；
                                                               因此上方照耀著你的那道光芒
                                                               就不會消失。
                                                               你將聽到天使的聲音在說-----
                                                               這些美好不會消逝。
