I am the wind that weavers, You are the certain land; I am the shadow that passes Over the sand. I am the leaf that quivers, You the unshaken tree; You are the stars that are steadfast, I am the sea. You are the light eternal, Like a torch I shall die… You are the surge of deep music, I -but a cry! 永恆的光 我是浮動的風。 妳是堅定的大地; 我是那雲影, 飄過沙土而去。 我是那搖落的葉片, 妳是撼不動的大樹。 妳是那常駐的星星, 我是那奔騰的大海。 妳是永恆的光, 我像一支火炬,不久就會熄滅。 妳是偉大樂章激越澎湃, 而我,只是一聲呼嘯。 -Zoe Akins
