She cannot keep Her place.

她忍不住颤动

Because He knows—and

因为风知道

Do not You—

Enough for Us

都不全了解自己

智慧便如此

The Lightning—never asked an Eye

Wherefore it shut—when He was by—

当他经过，为何它要闭上

Because He knows it cannot speak—

因为他明白，它说不出口

And reasons not contained—

说出口的

—Of Talk—

也不是理由

There be—preferred by Daintier Folk—

优雅的人更偏爱如此

The Sunrise—Sire—compelleth Me—

日出，先生，是它促使了我

Because He's Sunrise—and I see—

因为他就像日出，我一瞧见
