I died for beauty, but was scarce

我为美而死去，却还不曾

Adjusted in the tomb,

在墓中安息，

When one who died for truth was lain

又来了一位为真理而死的人

In an adjoining room.

栖身在我的隔壁。

He questioned softly why I failed?

他悄言问我何以逝去

"For beauty," I replied.

“为了美。”我回答。

"And I for truth, — the two are one;

“而我为真理。真与美本是一体；

We brethren are," he said.

我们是兄弟。”

And so, as kinsmen met a night,

就这样，像亲人在夜里相遇

We talked between the rooms,

我们隔墙倾谈

Until the moss had reached our lips,

直到苍苔爬上我们的唇际

And covered up our names.

掩没掉我们的姓名。
