One day I wrote her name upon the strand, But came the waves and washed it away: Again I wrote it with a second hand, But came the tide, and made my pains his prey.
• It's one of the most beautiful love poem in the world
One day I wrote her name upon the strand,
seashore
But came the waves and washed it away:
Again I wrote it with a second hand,
My verse your virtues rare shall eternize,
last and exist for ever
And in the heavens write your glorious name.
Where, when as Death shall all the world subdue,
一日我将伊名书于沙滩,
可海浪打来将伊名冲掉:
我又第二遍把名字写好,
但潮水冲来吞噬我辛劳。
Vain man(said she) that doest in vain assay A mortal thing so to immortalize, For I myself shall like to this decay, And eke my name be wiped out likewise.

For I myself shall like to this decay,

Feature
• Metaphor.The use of image is the most highlight in this poem. The wave's ebb and flow symbolizes the human's life. The image --sea is contraditory, both the living and death. Only the love won't change, because poem makes it eternal. • First-person view The poet put himself in the center of the poem, to express his situation, emotion, and faith.
• The rhyme like the tide e.g. One day | I wrote | her name | upon | the strand, But came | the waves | and wash | ed it | away: Again | I wrote | it with | a sec | ond hand, But came | the tyde, | and made | my pains | his pray.
