O cloud-pale eyelids, dream-dimmed eyes
呵，白皙的眼睑，迷惘的眼
The poets labouring all their days
为了用韵文塑出十全的美
To build a perfect beauty in rhyme
诗人们终生辛劳不停
Are overthrown by a woman's gaze
却被一个女人的注视而毁

And by the unlabouring brood of the skies
也被天空逍遥的部族所毁
And therefore my heart will bow, when dew Is dropping sleep, until God burn time
因此当露水撒下睡意，我的心愿向你和自在的星星致敬
Before the unlabouring stars and you
直到上帝把时间烧尽
