Good-bye, proud world! I'm going home:
Thou art not my friend, and I'm not thine.
Long through thy weary crowds I roam;
A river-ark on the ocean brine,
Long I've been tossed like the driven foam:
But now, proud world! I'm going home.
Good-bye to Flattery's fawning face;
To Grandeur with his wise grimace;
To upstart Wealth's averted eye;
To supple Office, low and high;
To crowded halls, to court and street;
To frozen hearts and hasting feet;
To those who go, and those who come;
Good-bye, proud world! I'm going home.
I am going to my own hearth-stone,
Bosomed in yon green hills alone,—
secret nook in a pleasant land,
Whose groves the frolic fairies planned;
Where arches green, the livelong day,
Echo the blackbird's roundelay,
And vulgar feet have never trod
A spot that is sacred to thought and God.
O, when I am safe in my sylvan home,
I tread on the pride of Greece and Rome;
And when I am stretched beneath the pines,
Where the evening star so holy shines,
I laugh at the lore and the pride of man,
At the sophist schools and the learned clan;
For what are they all, in their high conceit,
When man in the bush with God may meet?
译文：再见，傲慢的世界！我要回家了！
你我彼此陌路
我游荡着穿行在这疲敝的人群中
似一条驳船游离于苦涩的大洋
多少年来，一如那被驱赶起的飞沫，颠沛以之
而今，你这傲慢的世界！我要回家咯！
别了，阿谀者趋迎的脸；
别了，自以为睿智的庄严宝相；
别了，乍富者轻蔑的眼光；
别了，油滑的官员，高低不论；
别了，拥挤的大厅，法院和街道；
别了，冰封的心田于忙乱的脚步；
别了，来去芸芸的众生；
再见，傲慢的世界！我要回家
我要回到属于我的家
那个被绿色小山环抱的孤独所在
在这块应许之地的隐秘角落
她的园林果木，经由嬉戏仙子的点化
翠绿的游廊，整日的闲暇
画眉的回旋曲悠扬不断
粗笨的村氓绝然不会蹑迹于此
此地，以思想为圣，以上帝为尊
哦，当我安然栖身于林间的家
我践行在古希腊罗马璀璨的荣耀中
当我在松树下，挺展放松着四肢百骸时
那夜空中的星，闪烁着如此神圣的光
对人类的学说与骄矜，我唯有一哂
管你是经典学院还是智者学派
因为，除了满满的自负
比照于树丛间见证神迹的人
他们还有什么！
