William Blake - The Little Boy Lost 中译

The Little Boy Lost

William Blake

‘Father, father, where are you going?

Oh, do not walk so fast!

Speak, father, speak to your little boy,

Or else I shall be lost.’

The night was dark, no father was there,

The child was wet with dew;

The mire was deep, and the child did weep,

And away the vapour flew.

小男孩的迷失

威廉·布莱克

“爸爸，爸爸，你上哪儿？

啊，别走那么快吧！

爸爸，说呀，跟你孩子说话，

不然我就要迷路啦！”

漆黑的夜里，不见了爸爸，

露水淋湿了小孩；

泥沼又深，小孩流泪，

夜雾向四处飞散开来。
