29「那是一艘小小的船」‘T WAS such a little, little boat

那是一艘小小的船,

就這樣蹣跚走下了海灣。

那可是浩浩蕩蕩的大海,

對它發出的召喚。

多麼貪心的招手,

就這樣把它舔下了海岸;

莊嚴的風帆從未想到,

我的小傑作就此不見。


(老哈譯,2019.10.10)


‘T WAS such a little, little boat

That toddled down the bay!

’T was such a gallant, gallant sea

That beckoned it away!

’T was such a greedy, greedy wave

That licked it from the coast;

Nor ever guessed the stately sails

My little craft was lost!
