雪之歌
I hear a bird chirp in the sun;

He flutters and hops to and fro;
它飞来飞去，左跳右跳;
His tiny light tracks, one by one,
把纤细的脚印一个个，
He prints on the new-fallen snow.
在新落的雪上印好：
Little bird, sing!
小鸟，歌唱吧!
Sun, give his wing A flicker of gold as you go!
大阳，照耀吧!请给它的翅膀，镶上金边一条!
Make a smooth path for him, Snow!
雪姑娘，请你把他的前路凊扫!
I see a child out there at play;
我看见一个孩子，在户外游玩，
His footfall is light on the snow;
雪地的脚步轻轻，宛若小鸟;
His curls catch a swift golden ray
太阳的金光缠绕在卷发上，
Of the sun, while the merry winds blow.
欢乐的风声，在他耳边回响
Little child, run!
孩子，飞跑吧!
Shine on him, Sun!
大阳，照耀吧!
Blow him fair weather, Wind, blow!
风啊，请将晴朗的天气送到，
Make a white path for him, Snow!
雪姑娘，请你把白色的路基筑牢!
The little bird’s home is the sky,
小鸟的家，若不是天地
Or the ground, or a nest in the tree.
就是鸟巢，隐在枝叶之间;
The little child some day will fly
有朝一日，那孩子也将
From his doorstep, new regions to see.
飞出家门，把新的世界发现
Bird-like and free
愿他晴日的飞翔，
May his sunny flight be!
自由像鸟儿一样!
And wherever on earth he may go,
愿地上的脚印，洁白胜雪，
May his footsteps be whiter than snow!
不管他将来，去向何方!
