众人欢歌

Everyone suddenly burst out singing,
And I was filled with such delight
As1)prisoned birds must find in freedom,
2)Winging wildly across the white
3)Orchards and dark-green fields; on—on—and out of sight.
Everyone’s voice was suddenly lifted;
And beauty came like the setting sun:
My heart was shaken with tears; and4)horror
5)Drifted away… O, but every one
Was a bird; and the song was wordless; the singing will never be done.
参考译文
众人突然高唱
我也愉悦释怀
似笼中鸟找回自由
展翅飞过
白果园和青绿田;一直飞至天际
众人歌声忽高昂
如落日一样壮观
我心颤流泪;烦事尽散去每人如飞鸟
歌声虽停止;余音却不绝
