第一首(唸給老人聽的)
" 一種藝術 "－----由伊莉莎白主教
失敗的藝術不難的征服；
這麼多事物似乎裝滿意圖
被失去他們的損失不是災禍。
失去每一東西日子。 接受慌亂
失去門鑰匙，小時嚴重地花費。
失敗的藝術不困難征服。
然後更遠的練習失去，失去更快速地：
地方 , 和名字，和在哪裡是你在意謂
旅行。 沒有人這些將帶災禍。
我失去了我的母親手錶。 而且看！ 我的最後，或
下一個－到－最後的，三棟被愛的房子去。
失敗的藝術不困難征服。
我失去了二個城市，可愛的一些。 並且，比較巨大的，
一些範圍我擁有，二條河，一個大陸。
我想念他們，但是它不是災禍。
－--使失敗相等你（開玩笑聲音，一個手勢
我愛）我 shan't 已經說謊。 真是顯著
失敗的藝術不太努力地征服
雖然它可能看起來像（寫它！） 喜歡災禍。

第二首(婚禮上唸的)
你在我心裡　　　　作者： E.E Cummings
我將你放在我的心裡， (深藏在心底)
未曾離棄(不論我身處何處，不論我做了什麼，親愛的，你我如影隨行)
未知命運有何畏懼，(因為你是我命定中的甜蜜)
花花世界焉有何奇， (有你的生命才有真理與美麗)
是你，讓日月星辰有了永恒光采的意義
儘管這是個深藏亙古的秘密
然而，
一番盤根錯結與天際綿延相互交織所成就的美麗人生，
卻早已經卓越昂揚，遠遠超過曾經的想望與刻意的謙藏。
這天賜的奇異恩典，付予繁天星斗與眾不同的晶透光芒
你在我心底，(永遠深藏在心底)

這是第一首
"One Art"-----by Elizabeth Bishop
The art of losing isn't hard to master;
so many things seem filled with the intent
to be lost that their loss is no disaster.
Lose something every day. Accept the fluster
of lost door keys, the hour badly spent.
The art of losing isn't hard to master.
Then practice losing farther, losing faster:
places, and names, and where it was you meant
to travel. None of these will bring disaster.
I lost my mother's watch. And look! my last, or
next-to-last, of three loved houses went.
The art of losing isn't hard to master.
I lost two cities, lovely ones. And, vaster,
some realms I owned, two rivers, a continent.
I miss them, but it wasn't a disaster.
---Even losing you (the joking voice, a gesture
I love) I shan't have lied. It's evident
the art of losing's not too hard to master
though it may look like (Write it!) like disaster.
第二首
I Carry Your Heart With Me----by e. e. cummings
I carry your heart with me (I carry it in my heart)
I am never without it
(anywhere I go you go, my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing, my darling)
I fear
no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet)
I want no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you
here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud
and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows
higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart
I carry your heart (I carry it in my heart)
