A Psalm of LifeLife is but an empty dream!For the soul is dead that slumbers,And things are not what they seem.Life is real! Life is earnest!And the grave is not its goal;Dust thou art, to dust returnest,Was not spoken of the soul.Not enjoyment, and not sorrow,Is our destined end or way?But to act, that each tomorrowFinds us farther than today.Art is long, and time is fleeting,And our hearts, though stout and brave,Still, like muffled drums, are beatingFuneral marches to the grave.In the world’s broad field of battle,In the bivouac of life,Be not like dumb, driven cattle!Be a hero in the strife!Trust no future, however pleasant!Let the dead past bury its dead!Act-act in the living present!Heart within, and god overhead!《人生颂》朗费罗人生不过是一场幻梦！灵魂睡着了，就等于死了，事物的真相与外表不同。人生是真切的！人生是实在的！它的归宿决不是荒坟；你本是尘土，必归于尘土，这是指躯壳，不是指灵魂我们命定的目标和道路不是享乐，也不是受苦；而是行动，在每个明天都超越今天，跨出新步。智艺无穷，时光飞逝；这颗心，纵然勇敢坚强，也只如鼙鼓，闷声敲动着，一下又一下，向坟地送丧。世界是一片辽阔的战场，人生是到处扎寨安营；莫学那听人驱策的哑畜，做一个威武善战的英雄！别指望将来，不管它多可爱！把已逝的过去永久掩埋！行动吧－－趁着活生生的现在！心中有赤心，头上有真宰！1.Psalm [sɑ:m] n. 圣诗,圣歌,诗篇例句：You can find this psalm in the Bible. 你可以在圣经上找到这篇赞美诗。2.slumber vi. 微睡, 静止, 麻木 vt. 睡着度过(时间)例句：Thought once awakened does not again slumber .思想一旦被唤醒，就再也不会沉睡。3.muffled adj.

He begs in the first stanza to be told "not in mournful numbers" about life. He states here that life doesn't abruptly end when one dies; rather, it extends into another after life. Longfellow values this dream of the afterlife immensely and seems to say that life can only be lived truly if one believes that the soul will continue to live long after the body dies. The second stanza continues with the same belief in afterlife that is present in the first. Longfellow states this clearly when he writes, "And the grave is not its goal." Meaning that, life doesn't end for people simply because they die; there is always something more to be hopeful and optimistic for. Longfellow begins discussing how humans must live their lives in constant anticipation for the next day under the belief that it will be better than each day before it: "But to act that each to-morrow / Find us farther than to-day." In the subsequent stanza, Longfellow asserts that there is never an infinite amount of time to live, but art that is created during one's life can be preserved indefinitely and live on long after its creator dies. In the following stanzas, Longfellow likens living in the world to fighting on a huge field of battle. He believes that people should lead heroic and courageous lives and not sit idle and remain ineffectual while the world rapidly changes around them: "Be not like dumb, driven cattle! Be a hero in the strife!" His use of the word "strife" is especially interesting, since it clearly acknowledges that life is inherently difficult, is a constant struggle, and will never be easy. Longfellow then encourages everyone to have faith and trust the lord and not to rely on an unknown future to be stable and supportive. He advises people to seize the moments they have before them and act while thinking about their present situations. Longfellow continues his poem by citing the lives of great and important men who were able to lead incredible lives and leave their marks. He views these men as role models for people who have yet to live their lives; Longfellow encourages his readers to leave their own "footprints on the sands of time" and become important. The next stanza, the second to last in the poem, continues with this same point. It describes how successful people in the past have their lives copied, while those who failed serve as examples of ways of life to avoid. The final lines of the poem echo the beginning ones and offer perhaps the most important advice in a poem that is chocked full of it. Longfellow encourages all to work and try their hardest to make their lives great and accomplish as much as they can. Longfellow conveys his message the same way he did in the rest of the poem: by speaking directly to the reader and providing his reasoning for believing in something more, in something better. Longfellow ensures his followers that the rewards for what they achieve will come eventually-if not in this lifetime, then, certainly, in the next.
