人间的温情

（单词翻译:单击）

The pure, the bright, the beautiful,
That stirred our hearts in youth,
The impulses to wordless prayer,
The dreams of love and truth;
The longing1 after something s lost, 
The spirit s yearning2 cry,
The striving after better hopes-
These things can never die.
 
The timid hand stretched forth3 to aid
A friend in his need,
A kindly4 word in grief s dark hour
That proves a friend indeed ;
The plea for mercy softly breathed,
When justice threatens nigh,
The sorrow of a contrite5 heart-
These things shall never die.
 
Let nothing pass for every hand
Must find some work to do ;
Lose not a chance to waken love
Be firm, and just ,and true;
So shall a light that cannot fade
Beam on thee from on high.
And angel voices say to thee
These things shall never die.
