夜幕黑暗圍繞我，
凜冽寒風呼嘯過；
暴君咒語束縛我，
我不能，不能走。

棵棵大樹正彎曲，
禿枝承雪欲斷折；
狂風暴雪速襲來，
可我還是不能走。

頭上烏雲罩烏雲，
腳下垃圾覆垃圾；
沒有陰鬱能移我，
我不會，不能走。

The Night

THE night is darkening round me,
The wild winds coldly blow;
But a tyrant spell has bound me
And I cannot, cannot go.

The giant trees are bending
Their bare boughs weighed with snow,
And the storm is fast descending
And yet I cannot go.

Clouds beyond clouds above me,
Wastes beyond wastes below;
But nothing drear can move me;
I will not, cannot go.
