罗素的一首著名爱情诗，中文译文如下：

经历漫长的岁月

我寻求安宁

我找到狂喜，

我找到烦恼，

我找到疯狂

我找到孤独，

我找到孤寂的痛苦，

它啮噬着我的心，

但安宁我从未得到。

到了垂暮之年，行将就木，

我认识了你，

认识了你，

我找到了狂喜和安宁，

我得到了平静的休憩，

多年孤独的岁月之后

我懂得了什么是爱、什么是生命。

现在，如果我长眠不醒，

我会心满意足地离去。

英文版

Through the long years

I sought peace.

I found ecstasy, I found anguish,

I found madness,

I found loneliness.

I found the solitary pain

that gnaws the heart,

But peace I did not find.

Now, old and near my end,

I have known you,

And, knowing you,

I have found both ecstasy and peace

I know rest.

After so many lonely years

I know what life and love may be.

Now, if I sleep,

I shall sleep fulfilled.
