我独自去赴幽会，是谁在暗寂中跟着我呢？

我躲开他，但是我逃不掉。

他昂首阔步，使地上尘土飞扬；我说出的每一个字里，都掺杂着他的喊叫。

他就是我的小我，我的主，他不知羞耻；但和他一同到你门前，我却感到羞愧。

I came out alone on my way to my tryst. But who is this that follows me in the silent dark？

I move aside to avoid his presence but I escape him not.

He makes the dust rise from the earth with his swagger；he adds his loud voice to every word that I utter.

He is my own little self，my lord，he knows no shame；but I am ashamed to come to thy door in his company.
