从未成功过的人们
才会认为成功最甜美。
甘露的滋味
需要最迫切的渴求方能体会。
今日的胜利之师
没有人能高扬凯旗
清晰地阐释
胜利
奄奄一息的，战败者——
即将失去听觉的耳朵
听见远方激昂的凯歌
悲痛而嘹亮！
Success is counted sweetest
By those who ne’er succeed.
To comprehend a nectar
Requires sorest need.
Not one of all the purple Host
Who took the Flag today
Can tell the definition
So clear of Victory
As he defeated—dying—
On whose forbidden ear
The distant strains of triumph
Burst agonized and clear!
