When Day Is Done

当时光已逝

If the day is done ,

假如时光已逝，

If birds sing no more .

鸟儿不再歌唱，

If the wind has fiagged tired ,

风儿也吹倦了，

Then draw the veil of darkness thick upon me ,

那就用黑暗的厚幕把我盖上，

Even as thou hast wrapt the earth with The coverlet of sleep and tenderly closed ,

如同黄昏时节你用睡眠的衾被裹住大地，

The petals¹ of the drooping² lotus at dusk.

又轻轻合上睡莲的花瓣。

From the traverer,

路途未完，行囊已空,

Whose sack of provisions is empty before the voyage is ended ,

衣裳破裂污损，人已精疲力竭。

Whose garment is torn and dust-laden ,

你驱散了旅客的羞愧和困窘，

Whose strength is exhausted,remove shame and poverty ,

使他在你仁慈的夜幕下，

And renew his life like a flower under

如花朵般焕发生机。

The cover of thy kindly³ night .

在你慈爱的夜幕下苏醒。
