布莱克的纯真的预言，前四句。
徐志摩 王佐良先生都有翻译过。
个人更喜欢这一版翻译：
一粒沙中见世界，
一朵花里见天堂，
一手掌握无限大，
永恒不比片刻长。
全文如下：
Auguries of innocence 纯真预言
－－威廉布莱克
To see the world in a grain of sand 一粒沙里看世界
And a heaven in a wild flower 一朵野花里有天堂
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand 掌中握无限
And eternity in an hour 霎那成永恒
A truth that's told with bad intent 当真理被恶意利用时
Beats all the lies you can invent 比一切臆造的谎言狰狞
It is right it should be so ; 现实本来就这样
Man was made for joy and woe; 人生来就要面对快乐和悲惨
And when this we rightly known 只要能明了这一点
Through the world we safely go 我们就不会再受伤
Joy and woe are woven fine 将快乐和忧伤编织
A clothing for the soul divine 披在我神圣的心上
The poor man's farthing is worth more 穷人手里的一个铜板
Than all the gold on Afric's shore 抵得上非洲海岸的所有黄金
One mite wrung from labour's hands 劳动者手里的一丁点钱
Shall buy and sell the miser's lands 能买的下守财奴的所有土地
Or, if protected from on high 如果得到上帝的庇护
Does that whole nation sell and buy 甚至可以买卖国土的全部
He who mocks the infant's faith 谁曾嘲笑纯真的信念
Shall be mocksed in age and death 他将被岁月和死亡讥讽
He who shall teach the child to doubt 谁要动摇纯真的信念
The rotting grave shall ne'er get out他将永远被埋葬在陈腐的墓穴中
He who respects the infant's faith 谁能尊重纯真的信念
Triumph's over Hell and death 他将战胜地狱和死亡
He who doubts from what he sees 如果不相信自己的眼睛
Will ne'er believe, do what you please 将永远不懂得去信任，请随心而行
If the Sun&Moon should doubt 如果太阳和月亮心存猜疑
They'd immediately go out 它们将会转瞬消失
To be in a passion you good may do 被激情围绕就能拥有美好
But no good if a passion is in you 情欲攻心则会迷失自我
Every night and every morn 每一个夜晚，每一个清晨
Some to misery are born 有人生来就为不幸伤神
Every morn and every night 每一个清晨，每一个夜晚
Some are born to sweet delight 有人生来就被幸福拥抱
Some are born to sweet delight 有人生来就被幸福拥抱
Some are born to endless Night 有人生来就被长夜围绕
We are led to believe a lie 如果不是亲眼所见
When we see not through the Eye 我们就会相信谎言
Which was born in a night to perish in a night 谎言在黑夜里生灭
When the soul slept in beams of Light 灵魂在光芒中休眠
God appears&God is light 对挣扎在黑暗中的人
To those poor souls who dwell in night 上帝散发出光明
But does ahuman form diaplay 对生活在白昼的人
To those who dwell in realms of day 上帝幻化为人性
