二十三 牧 童 |
William Blake |
威廉·布莱克 |
How sweet is the Shepherd's sweet lot, | 牧童的运气多么美好, |
From the morn to the evening he strays | 从早到晚他四处来去: |
He shall follow his sheep all the day, | 他整天随着羊群转悠, |
And his tongue shall be filled with praise. | 他满口说着赞美的话语。 |
For he hears the lambs' innocent calls | 他听见羊羔天真的叫唤, |
And he hears the ewes' tender reply, | 他听见母羊亲切的回应, |
He is watchful while they are in peace, | 他守护着,羊群就平安无事, |
For they know when their Shepherd is nigh | 羊群知道牧童离它们很近。 |
