And the first fall of the snow.	加上初降的霜雪。
Ah! what would the world be to us	啊!世界會(huì)變成什么樣，
If the children were no more?	如果沒有了新一代?
We should dread the desert behind us	我們會(huì)害怕身后的荒漠——
Worse than the dark before	比面前的黑暗更厲害。

With light and air for food,	當(dāng)養(yǎng)料給森林帶來，
Ere their sweet and tender juices	樹葉甜嫩的汁液還沒有
Have been hardened into wood, -----	化為堅(jiān)硬的木材，——
That to the world are children;	兒童對(duì)世界也是這樣;
Through them it feels the glow	世界憑兒童而感受
Of a brighter and sunnier climate	比樹干感受的氣候更加
Than reaches the trunks below.	明亮燦爛的光流。

What the birds and the winds are singing	在你們充滿陽(yáng)光的大氣里
In your sunny atmosphere.	風(fēng)和鳥唱的是什么。
For what are all our contrivings,	我們的一切書本知識(shí)
And the wisdom of our looks,	和一切發(fā)明創(chuàng)造，
When compared with your caresses,	怎能比得上你們的愛撫，
And the gladness of your looks?	你們的一臉甜笑?
Ye are better than all the ballads	你們勝過世界上曾經(jīng)
That ever were sung or said;	說唱的一切歌謠;
For ye are living poems,	你們是活的詩(shī)篇，而其他
And all the rest and dead.	全都是死的曲調(diào)。
