Nocturne for tenor, 7 obligato instruments & strings, Op.60:1. "On A Poet's Lips I Slept"

On a poet's lips I slept
我睡在一位詩人的唇上
Dreaming like a love-adept
在他起伏的呼吸聲中
In the sound his breathing kept;
做著情場高手的美夢
Nor seeks nor finds he mortal blisses,
他不屑於人間的歡樂
But feeds on the a?rial kisses
維持他生存的，唯有來自思想的蠻荒之地裡
Of shapes that haunt thought's wildernesses.
那些遊蕩的形影的虛無縹緲的親吻
He will watch from dawn to gloom
他可以從清晨到黃昏
The lake- reflected sun illume
一直凝視著湖面反射的陽光
The yellow bees in the ivy-bloom,
常青藤的花瓣里嫩黃的蜜蜂
Nor heed nor see what things they be;
不見不想自己為何物
But from these create he can
從這些景緻裡
Forms more real than living man,
他卻可以創造出比活人更真實的形體
Nurslings of immortality!
不朽的嬰孩！
