玛乔丽·皮克索尔（Marjorie Pickthall，1883—1922），加拿大女诗人、小说家、被誉为她那个年代“加拿大最伟大的诗人”。

And now Orion 2 glimmers through the trees，

Clearing the earth with even pace and slow，

And now the stately-moving Pleiades，

In that soft infinite3 darkness overhead

Hang jewel-wise upon a silver thread4.

And all the lonelier stars that have their place，

Calm lamps within the distant southern sky，

And planet-dust upon the edge of space，

Look down upon the fretful5 world， and I

Look up to outer vastness6 unafraid

And see the stars which sang when earth was made.

现在在西方，细瘦的月亮低垂，

现在猎户座透过树木闪闪发光，

以均匀的步伐缓慢地照亮地球，

现在庄严移动的昂宿星团，

在头顶那柔和无边的黑暗中

把宝石挂在银线上。（剩余42字）
