A ship upon the shoals to-night! 无助小船，今晚撞沉海滩，
She cannot hold for one half hour; 落叶飘零，很快将葬身海底，
But clear the ropes and grappling hooks, 老人扬开风帆，冒死飞去营救，
And trust in the Almighty 1 Power! 至高无上力量，荣归上帝。
On the drenched 3 gallery he stands, striving to pierce the solid night: 海水猛烈，扑打无助的船舷，小船刺破，风高浪涌的夜深，
Across the sea the red eye throws a steady crimson 4 wake of light; 黢黑海面，升起一掬希望灯火，美好静谧，荡开温馨的祝福。
And, where it falls upon the waves, 突然间，波涛滚动的浪尖，
He sees a human head float by, 灯光朦胧，水面泊来人影，
With long drenched curls of chestnut 5 hair, 那栗色长发，熟悉身影，
And wild but fearless hazel eye. 褐色眼睛，依然透出畏惧。
Out with the hooks! One mighty 2 fling! 老人取出铁勾，猛力掷出，
Adown the wind the long rope curls. 顺着风向，飞出长长索绳，
Oh! will it catch? Ah, dread 6 suspense 7! 噢！他能抓住吗？一阵揪心悬念！
While the wild ocean wilder whirls. 海浪扑天，卷起漩涡飞旋，
A steady pull; it tightens 8 now: 握住扯紧，一步步拽拉，
Oh! his old heart will burst with joy, 天呀！他简直心花怒放，
As on the slippery rocks he pulls the breathing body of his boy. 落水少年，被拖上滑腻的礁石，他在喘息，查理还活着。
Still sweep the specters through the sky; 幽灵鬼怪，天马行空御风疾驰，
Still scud 9 the clouds before the storm; 白云苍狗，穿过世间喧嚣纷争，
Still naked in the howling night 时光裸露，倏然跌进风暴的夜晚，
The red-eyed lighthouse lifts its form. 渐次灯火，映亮大地黑色眼瞳。
Without, the world is wild with rage; 没有光，世界将充满疯狂愤怒，
Unkenneled demons 10 are abroad; 群魔乱舞，血腥淋漓内心恐惧，
But with the father and the son within, there is the peace of God. 父亲在，爱亦在，孩子亦在，悲悯众生，祈祷上帝福祉降临。
