The sky is clouded, the rocks are bare;

浓云密布，岩石嶙峋赤裸，

The spray of the tempest is white in air;

暴雨骤雨，搅起周天浪花，

The winds are out with the waves at play,

风卷浪涌，尽情飞溅追逐，

And I shall not tempt the sea to-day.

今天，我不想冒险出海。

The trail is narrow, the wood is dim,

狭窄的小路，丛林晦暗，

The panther clings to the arching limb;

蜷伏的美洲豹，无声等待，

And the lion’s whelps are abroad at play,

熊狮幼崽，四下追逐玩耍，

And I shall not join in the chase to-day.

今天，我不想外出打猎。

But the ship sailed safely over the sea,

渔船从海上安全返航，

And the hunters came from the chase in glee;

猎手欣喜地满载归来，

And the town that was builded upon a rock

荒芜处城镇高耸拔起，

Was swallowed up in the earthquake shock.

地球将毁于自身劫难。
