How happy is the little stone
That rambles in the road alone,
And doesn't care about careers,
And exigencies never fears-
Whose coat of elemental brown
A passing universe put on;
And independent as the sun,
Associates or glows alone,
Fulfilling absolute decree
In casual simplicity-
多幸福的小石头啊，
独自在路上漫步，
不汲汲于功名，
也从不为变故担心;
匆匆而过的宇宙，
也得披上它自然褐色的外衣。
它独立不羁如太阳，
与众同辉，或独自闪光，
在一种不经意的朴素里，
它决然顺应天意。
