吾死为求美
吾心仍悲催
栖息在孤坟
修室就异魂
伊死为求真
邻冢卧孤身
细语出疑问
舍生为何论
吾答吾无美
伊言伊无真
美真双生子
生而不相识
死却逢故知
与兄把夜语
倾诉穿屋室
谈至青苔深
覆唇亦覆字

I died for Beauty - but was scarce
Adjusted in the Tomb
When One who died for Truth, was lain
In an adjoining Room -
He questioned softly
"Why I failed"?
"For Beauty",
I replied -
"And I - for Truth -
Themself are One -
We Brethren are",
He said -
And so, as Kinsmen, met a Night —
We talked between the Rooms -
Until the Moss had reached our lips -
And covered up -
Our names -
