I took one Draught of Life —

我啜饮过生活的芳醇——

I'll tell you what I paid —

付出了什么，告诉你吧——

Precisely an existence —

不多不少，整整一生——

The market price, they said.

他们说，这是市价。

They weighed me, Dust by Dust —

他们称了称我的份量——

They balanced Film with Film,

锱铢必较，毫厘不爽，

Then handed me my Being's worth —

然后给了我我的生命所值——

A single Dram of Heaven!

一滴，幸福的琼浆！
