One’s-Self I sing 🔗
One’s-Self I sing, a simple separate person,
Yet utter the word Democratic, the word en-Masse.
Of physiology from top to toe I sing,
Not physiognomy alone nor brain alone is worthy for the Muse,
I say the Form complete is worthier far,
The Female equally with the Male I sing.
Of Life immense in passion, pulse, and power,
Cheerful, for freest action form’d under the laws divine,
The Modern Man I sing.
Translated jnto Chinese by H.C.
为自己歌唱 🔗
为自己歌唱，简单而独立的人呐，
词已被道出，是民主，是全体。
生理学的层面，歌唱乃从头顶到脚趾
可外貌或头脑，都不值得被单独歌唱
所构成的整体，更值得，
女人和男人，我一样歌唱。
生命，拥有无限的激情、脉动与力量，
神圣律法下，自由行动的形成，多么令人愉悦，
为现代人，我歌唱。
