These Things Shal

by Charles Dickens

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.

这些美好不会消逝
查尔斯-狄更斯

一切纯洁的、辉煌的、美丽的，
强烈地震撼着我们年轻的心灵的，
推动着我们做无言的祷告的，
让我们梦想着爱与真理的；

在失去之后为之感到珍惜的，
使灵魂深切地呼喊着的，
为了更美好的梦想而奋斗着的——
这些美好不会消逝。

羞怯地伸出援助的手,
在你的弟兄需要的时候,
伤恸、困难的时候，一句亲切的话,
就足以证明朋友的真心；

轻声地乞求怜悯
在审判临近的时候
懊悔的心有一种伤感——
这些美好不会消逝

在人间传递温情,
尽你所能地去做；
别错失了唤醒爱的良机——
为人要坚定、正直、忠诚；
因此上方照耀着你的那道光芒就不会消失.
你将听到天使的声音在说——
这些美好不会消逝.
