We are led to believe a lie
When we see not thro' the eye,
Which was born in a night to perish in a night,
When the soul slept in beams of light.

Som induïts a creure una mentida

Language: Catalan (Català) after the English

Som induïts a creure una mentida
quan no veiem a través dels nostres ulls,
allò que ha nascut en una nit per morir en una nit,
quan l’ànima dorm en els raigs de la llum.
