The pure, the bright, the beautiful,
一切純潔的,輝煌的,美麗的,
That stirred our hearts in youth,
強烈地震撼著我們年輕的心靈的,
The impulses to wordless prayer,
推動著我們做無言的禱告的,
The dreams of love and truth;
讓我們夢想著愛與真理的;
The longing after something's lost,
在失去后為之感到珍惜的,
The spirit's yearning cry,
使靈魂深切地呼喊著的,
The striving after better hopes--
為了更美好的夢想而奮斗著的--
These things can never die.
這些美好不會消逝。
The timid hand stretched forth to aid
羞澀地伸出援助的手,
A brother in his need,
在你的兄弟需要的時候,
A kindly word in grief's dark hour
傷慟、困難的時候,一句親切的話
That proves a friend indeed:
就足以證明朋友的真心:
The plea for mercy softly breathed,
輕聲地乞求憐憫,
When justice threatens nigh,
在審判臨近的時候,
The sorrow of a contrite heart--
懊悔的心有一種傷感--
These things shall never die.
這些美好不會消逝。
Let nothing pass for every hand
在人間傳遞溫情,
Must find some work to do;
盡你所能地去做;
Lose not a chance to waken love--
別錯失了喚醒愛的良機--
Be firm, and just, and true:
為人要堅定,正直,忠誠:
So shall a light that cannot fade
因此光芒就不會消失
Beam on thee from on high.
在你上方照耀著你的那道光芒。
And angel voices say to thee--
你將聽到天使的聲音在說--
These things shall never die.
這些美好不會消逝。
