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，我已从这山腰
攀爬到上帝的圣殿，
天使画家曾光临此地，
他见过向众生敞开的天堂，
洁白的美德女王
把宝座建在新月上，——
玛丽!只要见你一面，
哪怕顷刻死去我也甘愿。
哦，被上帝加冕了荆棘和苦难!
基督的母亲!哦，神秘的妻子!
我的心已倦于这种生活，
伤心过度不再能歌唱。
哦，被上帝加冕了爱与火焰!
哦，被神圣的基督所加冕!
哦，聆听吧，在巡游的太阳
向世界披露我的罪愆和耻辱之前。
