The Blossom
by William Blake, 1757-1827
Merry, merry sparrow!
Under leaves so green,
A happy blossom
Sees you, swift as arrow,
Seek your cradle narrow
Near my bosom.
愉快,愉快的小麻雀!
在如此翠綠的樹葉下,
一朵幸福的花兒
看著你,如箭般地敏捷,
在我的胸前尋找
你那窄小的搖籃。
Pretty, pretty robin!
Under leaves so green,
A happy blossom
Hears you sobbing, sobbing,
Pretty, pretty, robin,
Near my bosom.
漂亮,漂亮的知更鳥!
在如此翠綠的樹葉下,
一朵幸福的花朵
聽到你嗚咽,嗚咽,
漂亮,漂亮的知更鳥!
在我的胸前盤旋。
