Merry, merry sparrow!愉快,愉快的小麻雀!
Under leaves so green,在如此翠绿的树叶下,
A happy blossom 一朵幸福的花儿
Sees you, swift as arrow,看着你,如箭般地敏捷,
Seek your cradle narrow 在我的胸前寻找
Near my bosom.你那窄小的摇篮。

Pretty, pretty robin!漂亮,漂亮的知更鸟!
Under leaves so green,在如此翠绿的树叶下,
A happy blossom 一朵幸福的花朵
Hears you sobbing, sobbing,听到你呜咽,呜咽,
Pretty, pretty, robin,漂亮,漂亮的知更鸟!
Near my bosom.在我的胸前盘旋。
by William Blake, 1757-1827
