(单词翻译:双击或拖选)

I CANNOT think that Death will press his claim

To snuff you out or put you off your game：

You‘ll still contrive¹ to play your steady round

Though hurricanes may sweep the dismal² ground

And darkness blur³ the sandy-skirted green

Where silence gulfs the shot you strike so clean.

Saint Andrew guard your ghost old David Cleek

And send you home to Fifeshire once a week！

Good fortune speed your ball upon its way

When Heaven decrees its mightiest⁴ Medal Day；

Till saints and angels hymn⁵ for evermore

The miracle of your astounding⁶ score；

And He who keeps all players in His sight

Walking the royal and ancient hills of light

Standing⁷ benignant at the eighteenth hole
