Hope is like a harebell trembling from its birth

Hope is like a harebell trembling from its birth,

Love is like a rose the joy of all the earth;

Faith is like a lily lifted high and white,

Love is like a lovely rose the world’s delight;

Harebells and sweet lilies show a thornless growth,

But the rose with all its thorns excels them both.

希望就像铃兰，颤抖着绽放，

爱就像玫瑰，让大地充满欢乐；

信仰就像挺立的百合，洁白高贵，

爱就像可爱的玫瑰，让世界为之欣喜；

铃兰和甜美的百合都没有刺，

但是玫瑰尽管带刺，却胜过它们。
