LESSON 40 GOOD-NIGHT

第四十课 晚安

Little baby, lay your head,on your pretty cradle-bed;

小宝贝，把头放着美丽的摇篮里，

Shut your eyes, for now the day，and the light are gone away;

闭上眼睛，一天就要过去，

All the clothes are tucked in tight

所有的衣服被塞的很紧，

Little baby dear,good-night.

亲爱的宝贝，晚安。

Yes, my darling,well I know,how the bitter wind doth blow;

是的，亲爱的,我知道寒风吹的很冷，

And the winter's snow and rain,patter on the window pane:

冬天的雪和雨拍打着窗户。

But they cannot come in here,

但是它们不会来到这，

To my little baby dear.

不会到我亲爱的宝贝这。

 

For the window is shut fast,till the stormy night is past;

窗户一直关着直到暴风雪过去，

And the curtains warm are spread,round about your cradle-bed:

你摇篮床一周都是暖暖的窗帘罩着，

So, till morning shineth bright,

直到早上阳光照耀，

Little baby dear, good-night.

亲爱的宝贝，晚安。

THE MOMENTS

片刻

The moments fly,—a minutes gone;

片刻飞走了过后，一分钟没了，

The minutes fly,—an hour is run;

分钟飞走过后，一小时没了，

The day is fled,—the night is here;

白天走了，夜晚就来了，

Thus flies a week,—a month,—a year!

然后周飞走了，一月没了，接着，一年没了。
