舟在河上走

(1)

　　Boats sail on the rivers,

小舟在河上航行，

　　And ships sail on the seas;

大船在海中操轮，

　　But clouds that sail across the sky,

然而白云飘过天空时，

Are prettier far than these.

比这些更为悦人。

　(2)

　　There are bridges on the rivers,

河上有桥，

　　As pretty as you please;

如你所愿的那么悦目；

　　But the bow that bridges heaven,

然而横跨在穹苍的长虹，

　　And overtops the trees,

却比树梢更高，

And builds a road from earth to sky,

而能建筑一条通行天际的道路，

　　Is prettier far than these.

比这些更为美好。
