"O let not Time deceive you, you cannot conquer time."
In the burrows of the nightmare where justice naked is,
time watches from the shadow and coughs when you would kiss.
In headaches and in worry vaguely life leaks away,
and time will have his fancy tomorrow or today.
Into many a green valley drifts the appalling snow;
Time breaks the threaded dances and the diver's brilliant bow.
"O plunge your hands in water; Plunge them in up to the wrist;
Stare, stare in the basin and wonder what you've missed."
The glacier knocks in the cupboard, The desert sighs in the bed.
And the crack in the tea-cup opens a lane to the land of the dead.
Where the beggars raffle the banknotes and the giant is enchanting to Jack.
在那儿乞丐中彩得了钞票，杰克被那巨奖迷惑得神魂颠倒，
And the Lily-white boy is a roarer, and Jill goes down on her back.
"O look, look in the mirror, O look in your distress;
Life remains a blessing although you cannot bless.
O stand, stand at the window as the tears scald and start;
You shall love your crooked neighbour with your crooked heart."
It was late, late in the evening.
The lovers they were gone;
The clocks had ceased their chiming, and the deep river ran on.
