See, I have climbed the mountain side
Up to this holy house of God,
Where once that Angel-Painter trod
Who saw the heavens opened wide,
And throned upon the crescent moon
The Virginal white Queen of Grace,—
Mary! could I but see thy face
Death could not come at all too soon.
O crowned by God with thorns and pain!
Mother of Christ! O mystic wife!
My heart is weary of this life
And over-sad to sing again.
O crowned by God with love and flame!
O crowned by Christ the Holy One!
O listen ere the searching sun
Show to the world my sin and shame.
看,我已從這山腰
攀爬到上帝的圣殿,
天使畫家曾光臨此地,
他見過向眾生敞開的天堂,
潔白的美德女王
把寶座建在新月上,——
瑪麗!只要見你一面,
哪怕頃刻死去我也甘愿。
哦,被上帝加冕了荊棘和苦難!
基督的母親!哦,神秘的妻子!
我的心已倦于這種生活,
傷心過度不再能歌唱。
哦,被上帝加冕了愛與火焰!
哦,被神圣的基督所加冕!
哦,聆聽吧,在巡游的太陽
向世界披露我的罪愆和恥辱之前。
