摘抄

And sometimes things to bed I take,

As prudent sailors have to do;

Perhaps a slice of wedding cake,

Perhaps a toy or two.

有时我会带些东西上床，

就像细心的水手一样，

或许是一小块婚宴蛋糕，

或许是一两个玩具。

All night across the dark we steer;

But when the day returns at last,

Safe in my room, beside the pier,

I find my vessel fast.

我们在黑暗中航行整晚，

当白天最终来临时，

我却发现我的船儿，

安稳地停靠在我的房间。
