【The Soul of the Sunflower】

Sarah O. Jewett (1849—1909)

                The warm sun kissed the earth

                To consecrate thy birth,

                And from his close embrace

                Thy radiant face

                Sprang into sight,

                A blossoming delight.

                Through the long summer days

                Thy lover's burning rays

                Shone hot upon thy heart.

                Thy life was part

                Of his desire,

                Thou passion-flower of fire!

                And, turning toward his love,

                Lifting thy head above

                The earth that nurtured thee,

                Thy majesty

                And stately mien

                Proclaims thee sun-crowned queen.

                On earth, thy gorgeous bloom

                Bears record of thy tomb,

                And to transcendent light

                Thy soul takes flight

                Till thou art one,

                O sunflower, with the sun!

【《向日葵的靈魂》】

公主•朱厄特(1849生—1909卒)

                和煦的太陽親吻大地

                你應時而生，

                它親密擁抱

                你臉上灑滿陽光

                眼前突現

                盛開的喜悅。

                穿過漫長的夏日

                你情人的炙熱光芒

                照耀着你的心。

                你生活的一部分

                是他的願望，

                你迸發出如火的熱情！

                並且，你接受它的愛，

                抬頭轉向

                養育你的大地，

                陛下

                及其尊容

                宣告你是太陽加冕的女王。

                蒼穹下，你華麗綻放

                承載生命的力量，

                超越時光

                你的靈魂飛翔

                直到合二為一，

                哦向日葵，和太陽一起！
